He pioneered Dutch naturalism, characterized by a keen interest in natural objects, particularly small specimens such as insects and shellfish. Born in Antwerp, the artist received his early training from his father, Jacob de Gheyn I, a glass painter, engraver, and draftsman. In 1585, he moved to Haarlem, where he studied under Hendrik Goltzius for five years. He then moved to Leiden in the mid-1590s. His work caught the attention of wealthy patrons, including Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arader Galleries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45109654847532,"sku":null,"price":9000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1156\/7956\/files\/DeGheyn_Dragonfly_Framed.jpg?v=1765227112","url":"https:\/\/aradernyc.com\/products\/de-gheyn-ii-jacques-dutch-1576-1632-attributed-to-study-of-a-dragonfly","provider":"Arader Galleries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
