Vigor van Heede

Vigor van Heede (1661 – 8 April 1708) was a Flemish painter. He and his brother Willem traveled to France, Germany, and Italy. While his brother stayed longer in Italy, Vigor sojourned longer in Rome, where he improved so much that the price for his paintings became exceedingly high and the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I invited him to his court. He favored painting still lifes and history paintings.
