Willem Ormea
Willem Ormea (1611–1673) was a Dutch Golden Age painter known for his still lifes of subjects such as fish.
Life[]
Willem was the son of the painter Marcus Ormea and Johanna van Gladbeck. He was born in Utrecht in 1611, and probably learnt the art of painting from his father.[1][2] He was active in Utrecht between 1634 and 1673, surviving works dating from 1634 to 1658.[1] In 1638, he gave the Hospital of St. Hiob a painting of various types of fish.[3] He was a member of the Guild of St. Luke in 1665.[1] He married Johanna van Veen.[4]
His paintings were mainly of animals, marine and still lifes with fish,[1] sometimes in harbours.[5] Together with his father, he is considered the founder of the still life movement in Utrecht.[6] He collaborated with Adam Willaerts[1] and was influenced by JB Wijtvelt.[1] He had Jacob Gillig as a pupil.[5]
