Karel Batist

Dutch

Karel Batist is a Dutch Dutch Golden Age artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum.

Dutch painter Karel Batist made lush still lifes that feel like tiny windows into a sunlit room. In 1661 he placed a Wreath of Flowers Encircling a Niche on a shelf, and every petal looks freshly cut, every shadow in the right place. The tradition he followed is simply called Dutch still life—paintings meant to show off beauty and fleeting time. Tap into the niche to peek at the next painting.
