Jan van Huysum (1682 - 1749) was a Dutch painter known for his still lifes of flowers and fruits.
He specialized in exquisitely detailed, dramatically composed paintings of lavish flower arrangements. The precision and delicacy of his work were widely esteemed during his lifetime. His use of colour was especially fine, and he was one of the first artists to use a light-coloured background for his still lifes. [1]
