Still-life with fishes and shellfishes, now in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de La Habana

Isaac van Duynen (1628 – ca. 1680) was a Dutch Golden Age still life painter.

He was a native of Dordrecht, who according to Houbraken was one of the best still life painters of fish.[1] According to J.C. Weyerman he became a member of the Confrerie Pictura in 1665 and was the son of guild member Gerrit van Duynen. He was possibly a pupil of Jacob Gerritsz. Cuyp and was also known as Deynen or Duijnen.[2] He travelled to Rome during the years 1651-1657 and is known for fish & fruit still lifes.[2] In 1657 on his return to the Netherlands he settled in The Hague and became a member of the Confrerie in 1665.[2] He was a follower of Pieter van Noort and Jan Davidsz de Heem.[2] His works are sometimes confused with those of Abraham van Beyeren, Alexander Adrianssen, Jan Dirven, Pieter van den Bemden, Benjamin Gerritsz Cuyp, and Jan Abel Wassenbergh.[2] He died between December 1679 and February 1681.[2]

According to Bryan he went in 1664 to the Hague, where he became a pupil of Van Beyeren, and painted sea and river fish very successfully.[3] Bryan wrote that he died at the Hague in 1688 or 1689.[3] There is a picture of Cod-fish by him in the Lille Museum.[3]
