Jacob Rotius (11 September 1644, Hoorn – 1681, Hoorn), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
Biography
[edit]According to Houbraken he was a pupil of Jan Davidsz de Heem, whose style he successfully copied. He earned a good living as a flower painter, but died relatively young due to his "melancholy attitude".[1]
According to the RKD he was the son of Jan Albertsz Rotius, and specialized in flower and vegetable still life paintings.[2]
