Peeter van den Bemden

[1] His work shows a close relationship with works of other Antwerp painters of similar subjects such as Peter van Boucle, a Flemish still life painter who was active in Antwerp from the mid-1630s.

[6] A still life of dead birds sold at auction at Glerum's in The Hague in 1992 was signed: P. VANDEN/BEMDEN.

In the past, his works were often attributed incorrectly to the Flemish still life Peter van Boucle who shared the initials PVB and produced similarly themed works.

[2] One of his large kitchen still lifes includes a young moor, who stands next to the table.
