Biographyedit
According to Cornelis de Bie, he was born in Bergen op Zoom and was a good still-life painter.[1] According to the RKD, he became a pupil of Thomas Willeboirts Bosschaert in 1652, was a member of the Guild of St. Luke from 1655 to 1669, and became poorter in Antwerp in 1661.[2] He is known as a still-life painter who influenced David Bailly. In 1662 his brother Jan van der Willigen was his pupil.[2] He died in Antwerp.[2]
Many paintings formerly attributed to him have been re-attributed to Hendrick Andriessen, especially those with a wreath of straw on top of a skull.[2] Today very few works remain that can be attributed to him, though De Bie wrote a page-long poem about his "still" paintings, and Houbraken also included a poem about his still-life paintings from another source.[3]
