Harmen Steenwijck

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harmen Steenwijck (c. 1612, Delft – after 1656, Leiden) was a Dutch painter of still lifes, notably of fruit. His birth year is a rough estimate based on the appearance of his first works in 1628. He was active in Leiden between 1628 and 1633 and back in Delft from 1633 to 1656. In 1654-1655 he made a trip to the Dutch East Indies. Steenwijck is best known for his visual sermon in the painting An Allegory of the Vanities of Human Life at the National Gallery, London.
