Elias van den Broeck (1649–1708) was a Dutch Golden Age flower painter.
Biography
According to the RKD, he was born in Antwerp, but in 1665 he became a pupil of Cornelis Kick in Amsterdam, and in 1669 he became a pupil of Jan Davidsz. de Heem.[1] He is registered in Italy in 1672.[1] In 1673 he accompanied De Heem to Antwerp, where he became a master in the Guild of St. Luke there.[1] In 1685 he returned to Amsterdam, where he stayed.[1] His pupil Philip van Kouwenbergh also became a good flower painter.[2]
According to Houbraken, he had been the first and best pupil of Ernst Stuven, not Kick. His works showed the influence of De Heem, and he painted all sorts of flowers, herbs, snakes, and salamanders. He lived outside the Utrecht gate on the Molenpad in Amsterdam where he kept a garden for his studio needs. Houbraken claimed that he died in 1711.[3]
