Abraham Susenier

Abraham Susenier (c. 1620 in Leiden – 1666/72 in Dordrecht), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

[2] A Dordrecht estate inventory from 1682 of the Van Slingelandt family mentions 18 works by Susenier, mostly landscapes.

[2] Still Life with a Lobster, Römer, Oysters, Grapes, and a Knife, an oil painting from the 1660s, currently hangs in the Utah Museum of Fine Arts.

[3] The painting was featured in Matters of Taste: Food and Drink in 17th-century Dutch Art and Life, Albany Institute of History and Art, Albany, NY, 21 September to 8 December 2002.

[4] The bold use of red, an expensive paint at the time, is a visual cue to anyone who would have seen it that the person who commissioned the work was more than financially secure.
