Anthonie Palamedesz., also Antonie Palamedesz, birth name Antonius Stevens[1] (1602 in Leith, Scotland[1] – 27 November 1673 in Amsterdam), was a Dutch portrait and genre painter. He is in particular known for his merry company paintings depicting elegant figures engaged in play, music and conversation as well as guardroom scenes showing soldiers in guardrooms. Like many Dutch painters of his time, he painted portraits and still lifes, including vanitas still lifes. He further painted the staffage in a few views of the interior of churches.[2] He played a major role in the development of genre painting in Delft in the mid 17th century.[3]
