Joris van Son or Georg van Son[1] (baptized 24 September 1623 – buried 25 June 1667 in Antwerp) was a Flemish still life painter who worked in a number of sub-genres but is principally known for his still lifes of fruit. He also painted flowers, banquets, vanitas still lifes and pronkstillevens. He is known to have painted fish still lifes representing the Four Elements,[2] and also collaborated with figure artists on 'garland paintings', which typically represent a devotional image framed by a fruit or flower garland.[3]
