Artist and museum
Born in Linter, Belgium
joos van craesbeeck, a flemish baker and painter, was born in neerlinter (now a village in flemish brabant, belgium) around 1605. his father, also named joos, was a baker, and his mother's name was gertruid van callenborch. in 1630 or 1631, van craesbeeck married johanna tielens, whose family had connections to the art world, including the landscape painter jan tielens.
van craesbeeck's artistic career is marked by his significant contribution to the development of flemish genre painting in the mid-17th century. he created a few religiously themed compositions but primarily focused on tavern scenes and dissolute portraits. his stylistic similarities with adriaen brouwer, a contemporary flemish painter, suggest that van craesbeeck might have been brouwer's pupil.
* the smoker (louvre museum), a portrait showcasing the sense of taste, is an example of van craesbeeck's dissolute self-portraits. * the painter’s studio, a tableau vivant, represents the five senses through figures around a table while the artist works at his easel.
* the koninklijk museum voor schone kunsten (royal museum of fine arts) in antwerp, belgium, features an impressive collection of flemish primitives, including works by jan van eyck, rogier van der weyden, and hans memling. * the musées royaux des beaux-arts (royal museums of fine arts) in brussels, belgium, houses a vast collection of over 20,000 drawings, sculptures, and paintings.
