About ‘Still life with imaginary view, Laurens Craen’
Still life with imaginary view, Laurens Craen (1650)
This picture was formerly attributed to the great 17th-century Dutch still life painter, Jan Davidsz. de Heem, but recent scholarship favours an attribution to Laurens Craen, an artist much influenced by De Heem who may for a time have been employed in his workshop. The compositional type with a view through a window in the background and the characteristic treatment of the still life were invented by De Heem, but continued in use among numerous followers and imitators.
Laurens Craen, was a Dutch Golden Age still life painter. Laurens Craen was active between 1638 and 1664. He was possibly the son of Pieter Craen.
