Balthasar Ast
(1593/94-1657)
Ast, Balthasar van der
(1593/94-1657).
Dutch still-life painter, the brother-in-law of
Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder, with whom he trained in Middleburgh.
He worked in Utrecht before settling in Delft in 1632. His touch was less
exquisite that Bosschaert's, but his range was wider, his paintings often
including fruit and shells as well as flowers.
Jan Davidsz de Heem
was his pupil in Utrecht.
