Jan van Huysum (or Jan van Huijsum) (15 April 1682 – 8 February 1749) is the most notable member of the Van Huysum family of artists working in Dutch Golden Age of the 17th and 18th centuries; "by common consent, Jan van Huysum has been held to be the best painter of flowers."[1] Trained in decoration from a young age, he "gradually developed an execution of details of the utmost beauty and finish"[2] creating "wonderful flower pieces whereon drops of water and crawling ants could be seen without a magnifying glass."[3]
