R. van Burgh

R. van Burgh is a Dutch Golden Age artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum.

This 17th-century painter made oil-on-canvas still lifes. In Still Life with Fish (1679), they laid out silver-scaled herring, a copper pot, and a pewter plate on a wooden table with sharp, clean light. The scene is quiet, almost clinical, less about drama, more about the quiet glow of everyday objects. Tap Still Life with Fish to see how they balanced color and shadow without extra fuss.
