Gaspar Peeter Verbruggen the Younger (also known as Gasparo Pedro) (1664 in Antwerp – 1730 in Antwerp), was an 18th-century Flemish painter of still lifes.
Biography
He was the son of Gaspar Peeter Verbruggen and half-brother of Balthasar Hyacinth Verbruggen, who later became his pupil. Another of his pupils, Jacob Melchior van Herck, was his brother-in-law. He worked with Peeter-Frans Bailliu and Matheus Terwesten in the Hague. He became master in the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke in 1677 when he was only aged 13, and became its deacon in 1691.
In 1694 he gave a work to the guild in thanks for accepting his pupils Balthasar Hyacinth and Jacob Melchior van Herck. He became a member of the Confrerie Pictura in 1708, where he was the teacher of Peter Frans Casteels, and Gillis Vinck.
He painted still lifes, floral still lives, fruit still lives and art galleries.
