Evert Collier

Evert Collier — baptized in Breda in 1642, and known also as Edward, Edwaert or Edwart Collier, with his surname sometimes given as Colyer or Kollier — was a Dutch still-life painter whose career moved between Haarlem, Leiden, Amsterdam and London. Trained in Haarlem, where he likely studied under Vincent Laurensz van der Vinne, he joined the Haarlem Guild of St Luke in 1664 before settling in Leiden, becoming a guild member there in 1673.
