Carel de Vogelaer (1653 - 8 August 1695) was a Dutch still life painter of the Baroque period primarily active in Italy.

Biography

Vogelaer was born in Maastricht, but moved between 1671 and 1675 to Rome, where he shared a house with fellow Dutch painter Anthoni Schoonjans in the Via Margutta and trained or worked in the studio of Carlo Maratta. There he was called Carlo de' Fiori or Carlo dei Fiori for his paintings of still life themes such as flowers or game; other sources call him Carlo Volgar or Carlo Vogel.[1] He joined the Bentvueghels with the Dutch nickname of Distelbloem ("thistle flower").[2] He died in Rome.
