The correct answer is letter A - Pieter Claesz.

He was born in 1599, Anthony Van Dyck in 1599 and Rachel Ruysch in 1664.

Pieter was actually born in Belgium and and moved to the Netherlands in 1620. Just like most painters back in that time he enjoyed painting simple things that would portrait daily life. Initially his portraits were monocromatic but later his work became more colorful and decorative.

One of his popular painting shows a skull as a reminder of our mortality. His work suggested allegorical purposes.
