| Floris Claesz van Dijck (c. 1575–bef. 1651) | ||||||||||
| Floris van Dijck (also van Dyck) was a renowned Dutch painter and draughtsman born in Delft. After spending some time in Rome around 1600, he settled in Haarlem by 1606, where he became an assistant to Karel van Mander while also painting independently. In 1610, he joined the Guild of St. Luke in Haarlem and became its dean in 1637. Van Dijck was known for his historical paintings and portraits, but he gained greater fame for his still lifes, particularly the ontbijtjes (breakfast pieces), a genre he helped pioneer. He also excelled in painting fruit and flowers. His distinctive style often featured objects depicted from a high viewpoint, emerging from darker, shadowy backgrounds and projecting towards the viewer, creating a strong sense of realism. He was influenced by Flemish painters such as Osias Beert and Clara Peeters. Van Dijck died in Haarlem. | ||||||||||
