The brush and the canvas were the instruments of Elias van den Broeck, a masterful Dutch flower painter whose work ennobled the Dutch Golden Age. Born in Antwerp in 1649 and died in Amsterdam on February 6, 1708, van den Broeck created a series of works that captured the delicate beauty of nature. Today, we reproduce these enchanting works as fine art prints to preserve their beauty and the influence of van den Broeck's craft.
Elias van den Broeck's artistic journey began in 1665 in Amsterdam, where he first wielded a brush under the tutelage of Cornelis Kick. Four years later he was a student of the renowned painter Jan Davidsz de Heem in Utrecht. This influence of de Heem would manifest itself in van den Broeck's work when he accompanied De Heem to Antwerp in 1673 and became master of the Guild of St. Luke. This stay in Antwerp was formative, as his works now began to convey the Flemish master's flowers and plants in their full glory. Our art prints of his floral still lifes show this elegance and precision that van den Broeck achieved.
In the years that followed, van den Broeck moved several times, but his work remained constant in its quality and influence. In 1685, he returned to Amsterdam and settled near the Utrecht Gate on the Amstel River. It was here that he continued to create works of rare beauty, depicting all manner of flowers, herbs, snakes and salamanders. He even cultivated his own garden to satisfy his needs as an artist and to have a constant reservoir of inspiration. His work influenced many other artists, including his student Philip van Kouwenbergh, who also became an excellent flower painter. Although the details of his life and work have blurred over time, Elias van den Broeck's influence on the art world remains constant. His paintings are a declaration of love for nature, captured with incredible detail and a deep understanding of life itself. Each art print we offer of his work is a tribute to this remarkable artist and his everlasting legacy.
