Self-Portrait
Jan Davidsz de Heem ; April 1606, Utrecht - 1683/1684, Antwerp) - Dutch artist and son of the artist David de Heem, the most significant representative of the de Heem family
He studied with Balthasar van der Ast in Utrecht. He worked in Leiden (1625-1636), Antwerp, where he lived in 1636-1658 and after a short stay in Utrecht in 1669-1672 and again in 1672-1684.
Receptive to the influence of various artistic movements, de Hem created paintings initially in the spirit of the carefully painted archaic flower and fruit still lifes of Balthasar van der Ast, then in Leiden he turned to the genre of Vanitas (allegory of mortality) still lifes in the manner of a group of artists influenced by Rembrandt. In Antwerp, having gained wide fame, he became close to the traditions of the Flemish still life painter Frans Snyders and the creator of flower garlands, Daniel Seghers.
De Heem's paintings in a large horizontal format depicting festive tables, architecture and conventional landscapes are filled with expensive utensils and items of a lavish meal. The understanding of the unity of the light and shadow and pictorial environment, typical of Dutch still life masters, was combined here with a purely Flemish attraction to the abundance and luxury of earthly goods.
His works, designed primarily to create a spectacular spectacle, lacked, however, the sense of spontaneous fullness of life so typical of Flemish painting. The combination of decorative splendor and dry rationalism distinguishes the floral still lifes that made de Hem famous, combining in a complex, skillfully constructed composition numerous plants blooming at different times of the year, with carefully depicted smallest details, including all kinds of insects - flies, butterflies, caterpillars, dragonflies and etc. Endowed with a subtle sense of color, de Hem’s luxurious bouquets not only gave aesthetic pleasure, but also immersed the contemporary viewer into the world of multi-valued symbolic images associated with the idea of frailty, the transience of everything earthly, blossoming and withering, life and death. The high culture of floriculture in Holland, the love of flowers, their hidden religious and secular language of allegory contributed to the exceptional success of this genre in various circles of society; the works of de Heem, his students and followers, who painted pictures based on the master’s sketches, were widely distributed in the art centers of Holland and Flanders.

Jan Davidsz de Heem (Dutch. Jan Davidsz. de Heem; April 1606, Utrecht - 1683/1684, Antwerp) - Dutch artist and son of the artist David de Heem. Presumably a student of Balthasar van der Ast.
Originally from Utrecht, the artist worked for some time in Leiden. In 1635 he joined the Antwerp guild of artists and the following year became a citizen of Antwerp. Around 1667 he returned to Utrecht, and in 1672 he fled to Antwerp from the French who had captured the city.
De Heem gained worldwide recognition for his magnificent images of flowers and fruits. He combined the detail of the image down to the smallest detail with a brilliant choice of colors and refined taste in composition. He painted flowers in bouquets and vases, in which butterflies and insects often fluttered, flower wreaths in niches, windows and images of Madonnas in gray tones, garlands of fruit, still lifes with glasses filled with wine, grapes and other fruits and products. Hem masterfully used the possibilities of color and achieved a high degree of transparency; his images of inanimate nature are completely realistic. His paintings are in almost all major art galleries.
Jan de Hem's son Cornelis, born in April 1631 in Leiden, studied painting with his father, worked in The Hague and Antwerp, died in May 1695. He painted still lifes with flowers and fruits in the style of his father.

Jan Davidsz de Heem (Dutch. Jan Davidsz. de Heem; April 1606, Utrecht - 1683/1684, Antwerp) - Dutch artist and son of the artist David de Heem. Presumably a student of Balthasar van der Ast.

He studied first with his father, David de Heem Sr., and then with Balthasar van der Ast. Around 1625 - 1629 he lived in Leiden and underwent further training with David Bailey. The artist’s first marriage was registered in this city, from which three sons were born. One of them, Cornelis de Heem, later became a famous artist.
Almost nothing is known about his studies in Leiden, but it was here that the artist painted his first canvases. The influence of van der Ast's floral still lifes and the monochrome "breakfasts" of Heda and Pieter Claes is particularly noticeable in them.
Already in 1635 or 1636 he became a member of the guild of artists in Antwerp, and a year later he became a citizen of this city.
Jan Davids de Hem visits Utrecht from time to time, where he lives for quite a long period of time. In Antwerp he became acquainted with Flemish painting and collaborated with artists of this school. This could not but affect the artist’s work.
In the 1640s, a lush, richly decorated still life appeared, which made the master famous.
After the death of his first wife, the master married again in 1644, when French troops were getting closer to Antwerp. Jan Davids de Heem was forced to move to Utrecht in 1667, and in 1669 he joined the guild of painters of this city. Here he opened his workshop , where, in addition to his sons, artists studied, who later made a name for themselves. When French troops occupied Utrecht, the artist returned to Antwerp, where he remained until his death - April 26, 1684.
The path to glory was thorny and difficult. Jan Davids de Heem became famous as a mature artist after he began painting his decoratively rich still lifes. These works had a colossal influence on all Dutch painting, making Dutch still life colorful, lush and elegant.
The artist’s still lifes impress with their abundance and luxury, harmoniously combined with the chiaroscuro unity of the picturesque environment. His still lifes are filled with air and diagonally flowing light. One of the artist’s favorite objects is lobsters. placed in compositions with rich utensils. An organic and unusual combination of Flemish precision in the depiction of the smallest details and Dutch geometric rigor in the composition, Jan Davids de Heem created a unique style, significantly enriching the pictorial palette with lush, bright works filled with the sybaritic joy of life and characteristic of time symbols.

For some time the artist worked in Leiden, in 1635 he joined the Antwerp guild of artists and the following year became a citizen of Antwerp. Around 1667 he returned to Utrecht, where he was from, and in 1672 he fled to Antwerp from the French who had captured the city.
De Heem gained worldwide recognition for his magnificent images of flowers and fruits. He combined the detail of the image down to the smallest detail with a brilliant choice of colors and refined taste in composition. He painted flowers in bouquets and vases, in which butterflies and insects often fluttered, flower wreaths in niches, windows and images of Madonnas in gray tones, garlands of fruit, still lifes with glasses filled with wine, grapes and other fruits and products. Hem masterfully used the possibilities of color and achieved a high degree of transparency; his images of inanimate nature are completely realistic. His paintings are in almost all major art galleries.

De Heem is recognized by many as the greatest master of still life in Holland. The brilliant, rich colors in the artist’s paintings and a confident brush suggest that Jan Davids de Heem studied the works of Jan Vermeer. De Heem was the most gifted of the family of artists and inspired still life painters of the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as Henri Matisse, who so admired in particular Jan Davids de Heem's Still Life with Dessert that he made two copies of the painting.

De Heem's paintings in a large horizontal format depicting festive tables, architecture and conventional landscapes are filled with expensive utensils and items of a lavish meal. The understanding of the unity of the light and shadow and pictorial environment typical of Dutch still life masters (Pieter Claes, Willem Heda) was combined in the work of Jan Davids de Heem with a purely Flemish attraction to the abundance and luxury of earthly goods.

An abundance of fruits and exotic treats is interspersed with a selection of richly decorated goblets, jugs, and wine bottles on a lushly set table. This luxurious spectacle glows with extravagant, generous, sensual colors and, although it appears random, is in fact composed with great care. In the Netherlands at that time, artists demonstrated their skill by painting a wide variety of subjects, often with polysemantic implications and hidden symbolism of Christian, philosophical and metaphysical ideas. This picture, however, is a pure celebration of the senses.

The understanding of the unity of the light and shadow and pictorial environment typical of Dutch still life masters (Pieter Claes, Willem Heda) was combined in the work of Jan Davids de Heem with a purely Flemish attraction to the abundance and luxury of earthly goods. Some of the best still lifes are considered:
"Still Life with Dessert", 1640, Louvre Museum, Paris;
Henri Matisse really liked this still life. He made two copies of it.
