Flemish painters are usually known for their precise painting ability to depict real life. Adriaenssen is a master at still life. His ability to move paint around effortlessly on the canvas is evident in each of his hundreds of paintings.
Alexander Adrianssen (1587–1661) was a Flemish Baroque still-life painter who has been described as being critically significant for the “purity of his colour.” According to the RKD he was born in Antwerp as the son of Emmanuel Adriaenssen and Sibilla Crelin; he was the older brother of the painter Vincent Adriaenssen.
