Simon Claesz. van Waterlant

Simon Claesz. van Waterlant is a Mannerism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Fitzwilliam Museum.

Before breakfast coffee, Simon Claesz. painted still lifes in early-1500s Antwerp. Look for Adoration of the Kings, a 1537 oil where gold leaf catches the light on a king’s robe beside everyday copper pots and pears. The scene feels like a quiet corner of a busy studio. Tap Adoration of the Kings to step closer to the candlelit glow and explore the artist’s sharp folds and gleaming surfaces.
