Joachim Beuckelaer (c. 1533 – c. 1570/4) was a Flemish painter specialising in market and kitchen scenes with elaborate displays of food and household equipment.[1] His development of the genre of market and kitchen scenes was influential on the development of still life art in Northern Europe as well as Italy and Spain.[2][3] He also painted still lifes with no figures in the central scene. He further added the staffage (i.e. the figures) or the garments in works of other local painters, such as Anthonis Mor.[4]
