Aertsen, Pieter was a Dutch painter, active in his native Amsterdam and 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 have a religious scene incorporated in them. His depictions of food, flowers, and everyday objects make him important in the development of still-life painting.
