Anthony II Claesz or tulipomania in painting

Anthony II Claesz or Anthony Claesz the Younger (1616-1652) was a 17th-century Dutch painter.

Born in Amsterdam, he worked there and was a pupil of Balthasar van der Ats, traveling between Paris and London. His work is essentially devoted to the still life of flowers. Filled with metaphors for time, birth, life and death, these compositions have had a considerable impact on the history of art - being revived in the 20th century by Vincent van Gogh, among others.

One of his paintings was presented for sale in October 2023 by Auctie's, depicting a bouquet of tulips painted ten years after the collapse of bulb speculation (February 1637). He thus placed himself in the era of his time, tulips being particularly popular and cultivated flowers in the Netherlands.
