(b Antwerp, bapt 11 Nov 1579; d Antwerp, 19 Aug
1657).
Flemish painter and draughtsman, active also in Italy. He was the
progenitor of Flemish Baroque still-life and animal painting. He worked
intensively for about 50 years, producing an enormous body of works, of
which more than 300 paintings survive (though many are misattributed to
him), along with some oil sketches and about 100 drawings. Through his
own paintings and his collaboration with Rubens and other artists, his
influence was considerable.
