Bartholomeus Assteyn

Bartholomeus Assteyn was the son of a painter from Ghent, Abraham Bartholomeusz.

In the year 1631 he became a member in the Dordrecht's Saint Lukas painter guild.

In 1651 he was registered as an accountant for the local painter brotherhood.

Although he is not considered to be innovative, he created noteworthy still lifes.

Assteyn's compositions are particularly affected by Johannes Bosschaert, and his painting technique is reminiscent of Balthasar van der Ast.
