Seascapes and still-lifes of fish constituted the main part of Beyeren's oeuvre. He painted also a few luxury still-lifes and flower pieces. For the luxury still-lifes, rather than following Dutch examples Van Beyeren seems to have been inspired by Flemish work, above all by the still-lifes of Jan Davidsz. de Heem, who had developed this kind of sumptuous still-life of luxury items in Antwerp during the early 1640s. | |
