Pieter Aertsen
(1508-1575)
was a Netherlandish painter active in his native Amsterdam
and in Antwerp.
A pioneer of still life
paintings and genre painting, Aertsen is best known for
scene paintings that have a religious scene incorporated in
them (Butccher"s Stall with the Flight into Egypt,
University of Uppsala, 1551).
Aertsen was the head of a long dynasty of painters, of whom
the most talented was his nephew and pupil Joachim
Beuckelaer. |
