Boel mostly followed the style of his teacher Jan Fyt, especially in his smaller compositions, including rabbits or several birds outdoors.

His palette also differs from that of Fit in his preference for accents of blue, red and pink. During his stay in Italy, Boel met the work of the Giuseppe Benedetto Castiglione and the painter Giuseppe Recco. He has learned from these Italian masters to reinforce the dramatic effect of his canvases by emphasizing the shadows.

Foreword
Pieter Boel was born into a family of artists in Antwerp. He is the son of engraver Jan Boel and brother of engraver Quirin Boel II. His first teachers were his father and Jan Fijt, a famous landscape painter who was a student of the leading painter and still-life artist Frans Snyders.
It is believed that Pieter Boel traveled to Italy in the 1640s. His journey led him to Genoa and Rome.
In Genoa, he stayed with his uncle, artist, and art dealer Cornelis de Wael, who settled in this city.
Pieter Boel returned to Antwerp, where he was registered in the local Guild of St. Luke . After decade, he moved to Paris where he worked for Charles Le Brun in his first tapestry workshop. He was appointed a courtier artist by King Louis XIV in 1674 but died in September of that year.
Pieter Boel is the father of Jan Baptist Boel and Balthasar-Lucas Boel. He was a teacher of his sons and David de Koninck.
In principle, he painted still-life, including still-life with flowers, hunting still life, animal and fish still-life, and still-life with weapons. He also painted some landscapes.
Because most of his works are without dates, it is difficult to establish a chronology of his work. Boel achieved very high quality in his work. It is believed that many of his compositions that have not been signed by him can be accepted as works by Frans Snyders or by his master Jan Fyt.
