Arnout de Muyser was a genre painter of the second half of the sixteenth century.

Work

Not much is known about this artist apart from the two market scenes Woman selling fruit and vegetables and Vegetable and Flower Market, formerly in the collections of the Farnese of Parma and now kept at the Museum of Capodimonte in Naples. Licia Ragghianti Collobi notes the influences of Joachim Beuckelaer for still lifes, Hans Vredeman de Vries for architectural decoration and Maerten de Vos for figures in these two market scenes suggesting a training in Antwerp around 1560 to 1570. Another work A Fish Seller's Stall has also been attributed to de Muyser.
