Pieter van der Hulst (IV)

He would also join the Bentvueghels, an association of mainly Dutch and Flemish artists working in Rome.

He was given the bent name "Zonnebloem" for his preference for a "sort of flower that was wilder" than those depicted by Jan Davidsz de Heem or Daniel Seghers.

[2] He returned to Holland where he is registered in the Hague from 1681 to 1683 and joined the local Guild of Saint Luke.

[1] He decorated his flower paintings with wild herbs, snakes, toads, salamanders, and that sort of thing.
