Biography.
He was born in Berchem, Belgium, near Antwerp, where he became a member of the Guild of St. Luke in 1620. He moved to Haarlem in 1620, where his son, the landscape painter Nicolaes Pieterszoon Berchem was born (October 1). He and Willem Claeszoon Heda, who also worked in Haarlem, were the most important exponents of the "ontbijt" or dinner piece.
is recorded by Vincent van der Vinne, who was a still life painter himself, and based on his signature in church documents, his works have been attributed to the monnogrammist 'PVB'. These works were painted in the monochrome still life style of Willem Claesz Heda and Pieter Claesz, also of Haarlem. One period copy of Pieter Claesz painting has also been attributed to him.
