CORNELIUS DE See also:HEEM , the son of Johannes, was in practice as a See also:flower painter at See also:Utrecht in 1658, and was still active in his profession in 1671 at the See also:Hague. His pictures are not equal to those of his See also:father, but they are all well authenticated, and most of them in the galleries of the Hague, See also:Dresden, See also:Cassel, See also:Vienna and See also:Berlin. In the Staedel at See also:Frankfort is a See also:fruit piece, with pot-herbs and a See also:porcelain See also:jug, dated 1658; another, dated 1671, is in the museum of See also:Brussels. See also:DAvID DE HEEM, another member of the See also:family, entered the gild of Utrecht in 1668 and that of See also:Antwerp in 1693. The best piece assigned to him is a table with a See also:lobster, fruit and glasses, in the See also:gallery of See also:Amsterdam; others See also:bear his See also:signature in the museums of See also:Florence, St See also:Petersburg and See also:Brunswick. It is well to guard against the See also:fallacy that David de Heem above mentioned is the father of See also:Jan de Heem. We should also be careful not to make two persons of the first artist, who sometimes signs Johannes, sometimes Jan Davidsz or J. D. Heem.
