Christiaan van Pol (14 March 1752 – 21 May 1813) was a flower painter from the
Northern Netherlands
.
Pol was born in Berkenrode, a small town of about ten Catholic families that is now part of
snuffbox lids.[1] He became a good friend of Van Dael, who he stayed close to the rest of his life.[1] Like Van Dael, he created oil paintings in the manner of Jan van Huysum, of which his best piece was shown in 1809 and another in 1814. He also made designs for the Gobelins Manufactory and his considered a pupil of Van Dael because of similarities to his work, though he was much older than him.[1]
He spent the last years of his life teaching.
Pol died in Paris and Pierre-Louis Dagoty bought his largest flower piece.[1]
