Christiaan van Pol

Christiaan van Pol (14 March 1752 – 21 May 1813) was a flower painter from the Netherlands.

Pol was born in Berkenrode, a small town of about ten Catholic families that is now part of Heemstede. He probably learned to draw in the tavern there known as the Dorstige Kuil, where the artists Simon Fokke, John Greenwood, Jan Punt and others from the Amsterdamse Tekenacademie would meet during the summer months. He first trained in Antwerp where he learned "sieraad schilderen", or decorative painting. Here he met Gerrit Malleyn and Cornelis van Spaendonck and through him, Gerard van Spaendonck and Jan Frans van Dael. He spent the last years of his life teaching.

Pol died in Paris and Pierre-Louis Dagoty bought his largest flower piece.
