Willem Van Aelst
1627 - 1683
Dutch Artist
Willem van Aelst, "Still Life with Flowers" (1665)Willem van
Aelst (May 16, 1627, Delft - in or after 1683, Amsterdam) was a Dutch artist who
specialized in still-life painting with flowers or game.
Van Aelst was born to a family of prominent city magistrates. He learned to
paint from his uncle, the still-life painter Evert van Aelst. On 9 November 1643
he enrolled as a master of the Guild of Saint Luke at Delft.
Between 1645 and 1649 he lived in France. In 1649 Van Aelst travelled to
Florence, where he served as court painter to Ferdinand II de Medici, grand duke
of Tuscany. At this time, the grand duke also employed two fellow Dutchmen
Matthias Withoos and Otto Marseus van Schrieck, the latter also a still-life
painter who probably influenced Van Aelst's style.
In 1656 he returned to the Netherlands to settle permanently in Amsterdam. He
became one of the most prominent still-life painters of his generation, which
allowed him to live on the Prinsengracht. He must have died in 1683 or shortly
thereafter, as his latest dated work is from that year. Van Aelst taught Rachel
Ruysch and several others. - From Wikipedia, the free
