Dutch 1597-1660 Pieter Claesz Locations Dutch painter of German birth. He apparently spent his entire career in Haarlem, where he specialized in still-life paintings. Well over 100 works survive, dating from 1621 to 1660. Most of his pictures are dated and monogrammed PC. Since those initials were shared by the Antwerp still-life painter CLARA PEETERS, several attributions are disputed.  Related Paintings of Pieter Claesz :. | Still Life with Ham | Breakfast with Ham | Stilleben mit Glaskugel | Museums national style life with Romer and silver shell | Vanitas still life |
