The Life and Travels of Jacob Biltius

Jacob Biltius was a Dutch still life painter born in The Hague. He began his artistic training in The Hague, studying under the French painter Carel Hardy around 1651, and later trained with Pieter de Putter, who was known for his fish still lifes. His career saw him active in various locations, including The Hague, Amsterdam, Maastricht, Antwerp, Leeuwarden, and Bergen op Zoom. In 1660, he was admitted to the Confrerie Pictura.

Biltius married Adriana Proot van der Jeucht in 1653, and they had eight children, including two sons, Cornelis and Bartholomeus, who both became painters. His movements took him from Amsterdam to Maastricht, and eventually to Flanders, where he settled in Antwerp.

He was admitted to the Antwerp Guild of St Luke in the 1672–1673 guild year. He eventually moved to Bergen op Zoom, where he died.
