A remarkable figure in the early days of the development of the still life in Flanders at the beginning of the 17th century, Osias Beert remained long unrecognised: his name was only rescued from obscurity in 1938, at the moment when the pictorial genre was enjoying a great vogue among amateurs and collectors.
Since then, it has been discovered that he was registered as a student of the painter Andries van Baseroo from 1596 onwards and became a master in 1602. On 8 in January 1606, he married Margarita Ykens, the aunt of the painter Frans Ykens. This union produced a son, Osias Beert the Younger, baptized on 14 April 1622, who later became a still life painter of in his own right.
A member from 1615 to 1623 of the famous brotherhood De Olijftak, Osias Beert was also, as was common practice at the time, merchant trading in cork. In addition to his own son, five of his students have currently been established:
Fr. van der Borcht (1610), P. Doens (1611), his nephew Frans Ykens (1615), P. Pontius, the famous engraver (1616) and J. Willemsen (1618).
