Jan Janszoon de Heem
Jan Janszoon de Heem (1650–after 1695) was a Dutch Golden Age still-life painter and the son of Jan Davidszoon de Heem (1606–1684) and the brother of Cornelis de Heem (1631–1995).[1][2] This family of still-life specialists, of which father Cornelis de Heem is the most significant, had a strong impact on the genre throughout the north and south Netherlands.[3]
Jan was baptised in Antwerp on 2 July 1650, but was trained by his father in Utrecht.[1] His works, in fact, are nearly indistinguishable from his father's, and the fact that they both signed them as J de Heem have meant that many paintings in major collections attributed to Cornelis are actually by Jan.[1]
