Balthasar van der Ast (Middelburg, 1593/94 – Delft, 7 March 1657) was a Dutch Golden Age painter who specialized in still lifes of flowers and fruit, as well as painting a number of remarkable shell still lifes; he is considered to be a pioneer in the genre of shell painting. His still lifes often contain insects and lizards.[1]

His lifetime of works was once summarized by an Amsterdam doctor who said, "In flowers, shells and lizards, beautiful".[2]
