| Isaack Luttichuys (1616–1673) | ||||||||||
| Luttichuys, primarily known for his portraits and occasional still lifes, was baptised at the Dutch church Austin Friars in London, where he likely began his career. He made his will there before moving to Amsterdam, his supposed place of origin. By 1638, he was in Amsterdam, painting a portrait of Anne Blaeu, the mother of poet Pieter C. Hooft, which bears that year and demonstrates his Dutch training. His works, often portraits and still lifes, especially of fruit and vanitas, were influenced by Pieter Claesz but with a heavier tone. Struggling financially, he owed money to a framer in 1659 and, in 1660, painted portraits of Charles I and his two brothers, Jacob and Hendrik, in Breda. By 1668, still facing financial difficulties, he had to pledge many of his paintings and belongings to settle a debt. He was the brother of the more famous artist Simon Luttichuys. Isaack died in Amsterdam, and Cornelis van Dalen, among others, created engravings based on his work. | ||||||||||
