Heda
Willem Claeszoon Heda (December 14, 1593/1594 – c. 1680/1682) was a Dutch Golden Age artist from the city of Haarlem devoted exclusively to the painting of still life.
He is known for his innovation of the late breakfast genre of still life painting.
Early life
Heda was born in Haarlem, the son of the Haarlem city architect Claes Pietersz. His mother Anna Claesdr was a member of the Heda family.
His uncle was the painter Cornelis Claesz Heda.[2] Heda's early life is all but unknown, with no surviving pieces dated to that period.

Judging from his date of birth, scholars have speculated that Heda began painting around 1615.
His earliest known work was a Vanitas[3] which fit the monochromatic and skillful texturing of his later pieces, but portrayed a subject matter distinct from the depictions of more sumptuous objects in his later years.
