Dutch painter. He was a painter of still-lifes, particularly of still-lifes of fish and fruit. He was probably the pupil of Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp. He travelled to Rome in 1651-1657. In 1657 on his return to the Netherlands he settled in The Hague and became a member of the Confrerie Pictura in 1665. He was a follower of Pieter van Noort (1602-after 1662) and Jan Davidsz. de Heem. //
