Later in his life, Kalf became an art dealer and appraiser.[1] Life and workWillem Kalf was born in Rotterdam, in 1619.[1] He was previously thought to have been born in 1622, but H. E. van Gelder’s important archival research has established the painter’s correct place and date of birth.[1] Kalf was born into a prosperous patrician family in Rotterdam, where his father, a cloth merchant, held municipal posts as well.[1] In the late 1630s, Willem Kalf traveled to Paris and spent time in the circle of the Flemish artists in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris.[1] In Paris he painted mainly small-scale rustic interiors and still lifes.[1] Kalf’s rustic interiors are typically dominated by groups of vegetables, buckets, pots and pans, which he arranged as a still life in the foreground (e.g. Kitchen Still life, Dresden, Gemäldegal; Alte Meister).[1] Figures usually appeared only in the blurred obscurity of the background. Though painted in Paris, those pictures belong to a pictorial tradition practiced primarily in Flanders in the early 17th century, by such artists as David Teniers the Younger.[1] The only indication of the French origin of the paintings are a few objects that Flemish exponents of the same genre would not have pictured in their works.[1] Kalf’s rustic interiors had a large influence on French art in the circle of the Le Nain brothers.[1] The semi-monochrome still lifes which Kalf created in Paris from a link to the banketjes or 'little banquet pieces' painted by such Dutch artists as Pieter Claesz, Willem Claeszoon Heda and others in the 1630s.[1] During the 1640s, Kalf further developed the banketje into a novel form of sumptuous and ornate still life (known as pronkstilleven), depicting rich groupings of gold and silver vessels.[1] Like other still lifes of this period, these paintings were usually expressing vanitas allegories.[1]. Still lifesKalf's magnificent still life paintings vary little in their structure, and most of them actually feature the same objects.[1] Usually, a damask cloth or tapestry is draped upon a table on which there is tableware, with gold and silver vessels, many of which have been identified as work of specific goldsmiths, such as Johannes Lutma. There is almost always a Chinese porcelain bowl, often tilted so that the fruits tumble out of it. Public collectionsAmong the public collections holding works by Willem Kalf are:
