About the Artist

Joachim Beuckelaer

1530 – 1574

Netherlandish painter of large still lifes, market and kitchen pieces - active in Antwerp. Beuckelaer was the nephew and pupil of Pieter Aertsen, and he followed his uncle's preference for scenes in which a religious subject is relegated to the background by the still life or genre content ( The Cook, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna). He seems to have been the first painter to depict fish stalls.
