Reynier Covyn

Reynier Covyn (1632, Antwerp – 1681, Dordrecht), was a Dutch Golden Age genre painter.

He was the brother of Israel Covyn. He made a trip with his brother Israel Covyn to Antwerp in 1674. He was a follower (and possibly a pupil) of Nicolaes Maes and is known for kitchen scenes, fruit still lifes, and breakfast pieces.
