Flemish
painter (b. 1508, Amsterdam, d. 1575, Amsterdam) |
| Netherlandish
painter, active in his native Amsterdam and in Antwerp. A pioneer
of still life and genre painting, he is best known for scenes that
at first glance look like pure examples of these types, but which
in fact have a religious scene incorporated in them (Butcher'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.
