PIETER CLAESZ 1597 -1661
PIETER CLAESZ He settled in Haarlem in 1617 where he joined the Guild of St. Luke and began his career as a painter. Pieter was born in Burgsteinfurt, Westphalia to Dutch parents.
PIETER CLAESZ He avoided the more common types of art, such as genre painting and portrait art, Claesz became an early pioneer of table-top still life’s. These are symbolic arrangements of dining objects together with foods like olives, herring, fresh fruits, crispy rolls and pastries characterized by an extraordinary degree of naturalism and fine detail. He used a small pallet, if not monochromatic, with subtle rendering of light and texture being the main methods of expression.
PIETER CLAESZ Dutch still life painting was essentially a new small-scale form of Biblical art designed for domestic display, which typically conveyed a moral message about the transience of material objects and consumption. Still life’s were expressed through the use of symbolic objects (embodying time, impermanence or decay), like a watch, hour-glass, a wilted flower, a piece of fresh fruit, a skull, a candle, and so on. The majority of all objects which appeared in this type of realist painting, were carefully chosen for their symbolic references to the fleeting quality of human life.
PIETER CLAESZ Pieter Claesz was especially admired for his sensitive representation of light and texture, and subdued, monochrome color palettes, typically consisting of subtle tonal harmonies of grey, green and brown, occasionally with a sharp burst of yellow provided by a peeled lemon, although his still life arrangements gradually became more lavish and richer in color after his mid-40 s.
PIETER CLAESZ Pieter Claesz's career is commonly divided into three periods, each with a slightly different style. The first, up until about 1625, his pictures usually consist of a table laid with crockery, silverware, drinking glasses, spices and fruit, executed in clear crisp color.
PIETER CLAESZ Between about 1625 and 1640, in response to changing taste, he gradually reduced the number of items on display, often limiting himself to just one glass, a single plate and a herring, plus a bread roll. Also, he often resorted to the device of including a table edge to add depth t the painting.
PIETER CLAESZ After 1640, he added more color and more objects to his paintings, as well as a variety of luxurious dishes and fine glass, and a wealth of flowers, fruits and game. This later style influenced several other masters of the time.
PIETER CLAESZ Claesz remained in Haarlem for the rest of his life. He died about 1660. His son, Nicolaes Berchem, who enjoyed a successful career as a landscape painter himself, survived him. Today, the still life’s of Pieter Claesz are more fully appreciated, and he and his equal, Willem Claesz Heda, are considered the two most important still life painters of early seventeenth century Holland.
