Philips Angel I
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philips Angel I (bapt. 14 September 1616 - (after?) October 1683) was a Dutch painter of still lifes.
Philips Angel I left his native Middelburg in 1639 to establish himself as a still life painter in Haarlem. He entered the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke in 1639 and was still mentioned as a member in 1643.[1]
He returned to Middelburg at least in 1652 and remained there until his death.
Philips Angel I's life and work are often mixed up with those of a relative (presumably a cousin), the contemporary painter of the same name (referred to as Philips Angel II or Philips Angel van Leiden), born in 1618 in Leiden. Philips Angel II was active as a painter in Leiden from 1637 to 1645, then sailed to Batavia, Dutch East Indies where he died after 11 July 1664.[2]
