Aertsen, Pieter

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Art and Artists | 2003 | | Copyright

Aertsen, Pieter (1508/9–75). Netherlandish painter. He was born and died in Amsterdam but spent most of his career 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 incorporate a religious scene (Butcher's Stall with the Flight into Egypt, 1551, Univ. of Uppsala). Aertsen had two painter sons, Pieter the Younger (1540–1603) and Aert (1550–1612), and he also taught his nephew Joachim Bueckelaer.
