Daniel Soreau


Daniel Soreau was a German Baroque still life painter.

Biography

Soreau was born in Tournai. According to the Netherlands Institute for Art History, his pupils were his twin sons Isaak and Pieter, Francesco Codino, Sebastian Stoskopff and Joachim von Sandrart, though Soreau died only a year after Sandrart became his pupil in 1618. Sandrart claimed he became a painter at a later age than usual and was good at painting "stillstehenden Sachen". After Soreau died at Frankfurt, his workshop was taken over by Stoskopff, who had been assigned as his pupil in Hanau by the city of Strasbourg in 1615.
