Jacob Biltius was a Dutch still life painter born in The Hague. He began his artistic training in The Hague, studying under the French painter Carel Hardy around 1651, and later trained with Pieter de Putter, who was known for his fish still lifes. His career saw him active in various locations, including The Hague, Amsterdam, Maastricht, Antwerp, Leeuwarden, and Bergen op Zoom. In 1660, he was admitted to the Confrerie Pictura.
Biltius married Adriana Proot van der Jeucht in 1653, and they had eight children, including two sons, Cornelis and Bartholomeus, who both became painters. His movements took him from Amsterdam to Maastricht, and eventually to Flanders, where he settled in Antwerp. While living in Antwerp, he and his wife were members of a secret society of local Calvinists known as de Consistorie van de Brabantsche Olijfberg. He was admitted to the Antwerp Guild of St Luke in the 1672–1673 guild year. He eventually moved to Bergen op Zoom, where he died.
The work of Jacob Biltius is characterized by his focus on still life subjects. He was specifically known for his:
Between 1663 and 1677, Biltius created many trompe-l'œil compositions, acting as a pioneer in the creation of the illusion of three-dimensional objects. His works are noted for a very accurate and precise representation of nature. Some of these compositions were of a large size, which contributed to their realism and illusionistic impact.
