Daniel Soreau

Daniel Soreau (c.1554 – 28 March 1619) was a wool trader and still life painter from the Southern Netherlands who was active in Frankfurt.

He ran this company together with his brother Simon Soreau and his brother-in-law Stefan van Ninhoven, but could not prevent its bankruptcy in 1601.

At times, the company had controlled the entire wool trade of Hesse and Wetterau.

[2] His pupils were his twin sons Isaak and Pieter, Francesco Codino, Sebastian Stoskopff and Joachim von Sandrart.

[3] Sandrart stated that Soreau was good at painting "stillstehenden Sachen" (stationary subjects, probably meaning still lifes).
