Jan Davidsz. de Heem (Utrecht, 1606 – Antwerp, 1684) was a special artist in his time in the Netherlands, a region in division since the Fall of Antwerp in 1585.
As a painter, he knows how to bring the beauty of the still life to a high point across national borders, on the one hand through his high quality standards, on the other hand by always looking for innovation and keeping the genre very alive.
Dutch Fred Meijer has been studying De Heem’s oeuvre for more than forty years, research which he compiled in a catalog raisonné. The Snijders & Rockoxhuis gave him the opportunity to create the very first real retrospective. No fewer than forty paintings will be on display in Keizerstraat for five months. They come from top museums such as the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna and the Alte Pinakotek in Munich. In Antwerp, the KMSKA and Fernand Huts’ Phoebus Foundation lent their paintings. IN DUTCH!
