Isaac van Duynen was a 17th century painter, specialized in fish still lifes. Born in Dordrecht, he settled in The Hague around 1650. We know from 17th century sources that his paintings were and still are highly valued and appreciated. The choice of fish is one of the species that were caught for consumption in the North Sea at the time. Although they are naturalistic, they are also rendered with respect by the painter. This is due to the strong light, the not just random composition and the coordinated color palette. This painting makes a modern, photo-realistic impression.
