Jacob Rotius

Jacob Rotius (11 September 1644, Hoorn – 1681, Hoorn), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

According to Houbraken he was a pupil of Jan Davidsz de Heem, whose style he successfully copied.

He earned a good living as a flower painter, but died relatively young due to his "melancholy attitude".
