Biography

According to Arnold Houbraken he was a pupil of Jan Lievens and Abraham Bloemaert who later took to garland painting in the manner of Jan Davidsz. de Heem.[1] He had already become a history painter, but encouraged by De Heem, he changed to still life painting.[1]

According to the RKD he helped Gerard Hoet set up a drawing academy in Utrecht in 1697.[2]
