Willem Claesz. Heda was a Dutch Golden Age
artist from the city of Haarlem devoted exclusively to the painting of still
life. He is known for his innovation of the late breakfast genre of still life
painting. Willem was a contemporary and comrade of Dirck Hals,
akin to him in pictorial touch and technical execution. But Heda was more
careful and finished than Hals, showing considerable skill and taste in the
arrangement and colouring of his chased cups, beakers and tankards of both
precious and inferior metals. Heda was also associated with the Haarlem artist
and fellow still life painter, Floris van Dyck. In his work, Harlemias, the
Dutch poet Theodorus Schrevelius acknowledged exceptional skill at his genre of
painting. Heda and his contemporary and fellow still life painter, Floris van
Dyck, were "held in high esteem by the community as the best at painting
their genre."As a painter of "ontbijt" or breakfast pieces, he
is often compared to his contemporary Pieter Claesz. One of Heda's early
masterpieces, dated 1623 and in Alte Pinakothek, Munich, is as homely as a
later one of 1651 in the Liechtenstein Gallery at Vienna. A more luxurious
repast is a "Luncheon" in the Augsburg Gallery, dated 1644.
