SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Arnoldus Bloemers, a Dutch painter who died in 1844, specialised in flower and fruit still lifes, sometimes including dead game. Born in Amsterdam, he studied with Antoine Piera. He exhibited in The Hague and Rotterdam between 1818 and 1843 and at the Paris Salon in 1844, participating in the artistic exhibition networks of his time.
His compositions continue the flower-painting traditions of Jan van Huysum and Jan van Os. Species, colours and textures receive close attention. According to the Lempertz catalogue, he cultivated flowers himself in order to study them. Blumenstillleben mit Vogelnest combines a bouquet with a bird’s nest. His works are held by the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge and the Teylers Museum in Haarlem.
