about 1635, and there became master of the guild in 1660; worked also

HEEM, DAVID DE, the elder, born at Utrecht in 1570 (?), died at
Antwerp (?) in 1632 (?). Dutch school; still-life painter of
distinction, of whose life nothing is known, and some of whose works
are possibly attributed in public galleries to his famous son, Jan.
As, however, there were besides him three other painters called David
de Heem, namely, his son, David the younger, master of the guild
at Utrecht in 1668, and to whom is ascribed a Fruit-piece in the
Amsterdam Museum; David III. (born in 1628), son of Jan Davidsz; and
David IV. (1663–1718), son of Cornelis, it is difficult to determine
to which of these the following works should be assigned: Fruits
with Oysters and Wineglass (David the elder?), Brunswick Museum;
Fruits on Table, small picture with cavern, Flower-piece, Uffizi,
Florence.--Kramm, iii. 652; Riegel, Beiträge, ii. 439; Van Lerius, i.
