 Justus
van Huysum was a Dutch painter, and came from a family of artists. He
studied with Nicolaes Berchem and painted many different subjects, such
as portraits, marine scenes, landscapes, history and battle paintings
but he was best known for his flower paintings.
At his death, Justus left a collection of just over six hundred and
fifty works, enough to suggest that he may also have been a dealer. Of
his ten children, four were painters: Jan van Huysum, Justus van Huysum
II (1685-1707), Jacobus van Huysum (1687/89-1740) and Michiel van
Huysum (1704–1760).
