David Davidsz de Heem (1570–1632) was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
David Davidze de Heem was born and died in Utrecht.
According to Houbraken, he was the father of Jan Davidsz de Heem who made still lifes in the manner of his father and both were living and working together in Antwerp in 1660.
[1] Houbraken quoted Cornelis de Bie's poem which claimed that paintings by the father and son hung side by side and one couldn't tell them apart.
According to Van der Aa a David de Heem the Elder was an excellent painter of flowers, fruit, gold, silver, and crystal.
