Daniel Soreau (c.1560 – 28 March 1619) was a German Baroque still life painter.
Biography
Soreau was born in Tournai. According to the RKD his pupils were his twin sons Isaak and Pieter, Francesco Codino, Sebastian Stoskopff and Joachim von Sandrart, though Soreau died only a year after Sandrart became his pupil in 1618.[1] Sandrart claimed he became a painter at a later age than usual and was good at painting "stillstehenden Sachen" (stationary subjects, meaning still lifes).[1] After Soreau died at Frankfurt, his workshop was taken over by Stoskopff, who had been assigned as his pupil in Hanau by the city of Strasbourg in 1615.[1]
