Hendrick Andriessen
Hendrick Andriessen (1607–1655) was a Flemish Baroque still-life painter.
Biography
According to Cornelis de Bie, he was born in Antwerp and died in Zeeland. He was known as Mancken Heyn, or crippled Hein, though his still-life paintings were highly regarded and weren't at all crippled.[1] He joined the Guild of St. Luke in Antwerp in 1637.[2] He is known mainly as a still-life painter, and his still-life paintings mostly fall into the category of Vanitas.[3] Many paintings formerly attributed to Pieter van der Willigen have since been reassigned to Andriessen.
His works are at least sometimes oil paintings on canvas.[4]
Vanitas Quiet Life
One of his more famous works, an oil on canvas known as 'Vanitas Quiet Life', is believed to be a reference to the death of King Charles I by decapitation, especially because of the use of a skull, a crown and scepter, and other related objects.[5]
