d. 1688

Antonie van Steenwinckel was a Dutch Golden Age artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.

A Dutch Golden Age painter known for quiet still lifes and self-portraits, Antonie van Steenwinckel left a single haunting work behind: Vanitas Portrait of the Painter (1600–01). The artist stares back from the canvas, brush in hand, while a skull and extinguished candle on the table make their message clear. If you want to step inside this world, tap into the Flemish tradition that shaped his craft.
