R. van Burgh

R. van Burgh is a Dutch Golden Age artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum.

This 17th-century painter made oil-on-canvas still lifes. In *Still Life with Fish* (1679), they laid out silver-scaled herring, a copper pot, and a pewter plate on a wooden table with sharp, clean light. The scene is quiet, almost clinical—less about drama, more about the quiet glow of everyday objects. Tap *Still Life with Fish* to see how they balanced color and shadow without extra fuss.
