The painter was born 1596/1597 in Berchem near Antwerp in the Spanish Netherlands. He died in Haarlem in 1661. His son, Nicolaes Pietersz Berchem, who came from his first marriage, also became a painter who, unlike his father, turned to Italianising landscape painting. Little is known about Claesz's apprenticeship; he probably spent it in Antwerp.
It is known, however, that he moved to Haarlem in 1621. A strong middle class prevailed here, which accumulated large art collections. In the centre of his still lifes are often covered panels, the so-called banketjes. These motifs were extremely popular with the upper middle class and decorated the rich noble and bourgeois houses of the city. More than 250 paintings in this style were created during the painter's lifetime. While his early works are influenced by Clara Peeters and Osias Beert, his later paintings show stylistic similarities to Haarlem still life painters such as Nicolaes Gillis and Floris van Dyck. Claesz celebrated great success and was admitted to the Haarlem St. Luke's Guild in 1634. His works are regarded as innovative, especially in terms of composition. But Claesz's works were also stylistically influential in terms of colouring. More and more painters brightened the often black background of their still lifes so that the compositions appeared in almost monochrome colouring. In addition to black, white and grey, brown and ochre tones were extremely popular for capturing the panel scenes. In 1628 his contemporary Willem Claesz Heda, who was strongly oriented towards Claesz, seriously competed with him.
From 1640 the painter began to integrate baroque elements into his paintings. He arranged the motifs in a more theatrical way and used effective light effects and colours to breathe more life into the paintings. Vanitas elements also play an important role in his paintings and cannot be overlooked in his entire oeuvre. With the economic decline of Haarlem around 1640, Claesz's productivity was also reduced, as there were hardly any clients left for elaborate panel scenes.
