Who was Johannes van der Beeck?
Johannes Symonsz van der Beeck was a Dutch painter also known by his alias Johannes Torrentius.
Despite his reputation as a still life master, few of Torrentius' paintings survive, as his works were ordered to be burned after he was accused of being a Rosicrucian adherent of atheistic and Satanic beliefs. The tortured painter was thrown into prison as a convicted blasphemer until being permitted to leave the country as a political gesture for England's Charles I, a Beeck admirer.
