HEEM, Cornelis de
(b. 1631, Leiden, d. 1695, Antwerpen)

Still-Life with Flowers

c. 1660
Oil on canvas
Private collection

The success of Jan Davidsz. de Heem's flower pieces won him many pupils and imitators both in Flanders and in the northern Netherlands, and occasionally it is difficult to separate his hand from works done by his followers. His son Cornelis de Heem can come dangerously close to his father, like in this picture.
