Details

Dutch painter. He was first apprenticed to Jan Augustini (1725-1773) in Haarlem as a designer and painter of wallpapers, and was first employed in the manufacture of tapestry. After his marriage in 1774 he moved to Amsterdam and specialised in flower and fruit painting, and remained there until his early death at the age of forty one, apparently from drowning. His works were copied or imitated by Johan Christian Roedig (1751-1802), who may have been his pupil. //
