Philips de Marlier

Philips de Marlier[a] (nickname Dicke Lup) (c. 1600 – 1668) was a Flemish Baroque painter and copyist mainly known for his still lifes of flowers and garland paintings.

He was also active as an art dealer and produced several copies of the work of other Antwerp artists such as Frans Francken the Younger.

Garland paintings are a special type of still life developed in Antwerp by artists such as Jan Brueghel the Elder, Hendrick van Balen, Frans Francken the Younger, Peter Paul Rubens and Daniel Seghers.

[2] His oeuvre includes an early signed breakfast style still life (now in Abdij van 't Park, Heverlee, Belgium).

This work, which is dated 1634, resembles similar still life paintings by Antwerp painters such as Osias Beert.
