Willem Dolphyn
Still Life of Oranges, Glassware and an Ormolu

About the Item

For Willem, the most important thing in life was his painting. He worked in his studio off Venustraat from 1963 to his death in 2016. For over 50 years, from that one spot, Willem created around 2,500 paintings; a monumental achievement for one man. The rooms were crowded with historic furniture, the shelves were loaded with treasures, fabrics, glassware and ceramics which span the centuries, gleaming and glinting in the Northern light, each piece collected with pride and all contributing to his incredible compositions. The ideas for these compositions came to Willem during the night. Even in his dreams he worked, seeing Roman glass, Delft tiles, Flemish tapestry, fine fruits and expensive china drawn from across the continent and coming all together in his mind. Willem often undertook commissions for friends, family and his collectors. Portraits, cherished places or his exceptional still lifes created with that personal touch to strike an enduring chord.
