Willem van Aelst (May 16, 1627 - 1683) was a Dutch Golden Age artist who specialized in still-life painting with flowers or game.

It is speculated that Van Aelst visited Rome, where he became a member of the Bentvueghels, an association of mainly Dutch and Flemish artists working in Rome This suggestion is based, not very convincing, on his practice during the years 1657-1658 to sign his works with his name followed by: 'alias (and a drawn stick figure)' Some interpret this as a reference to a 'nickname '(The nickname of a Bentvueghels member) - The scarecrow - but there are no documents confirming this

He settled on Bloemgracht in Amsterdam On New Year's Day 1678, Willem van Aelst renounced at the age of 51 with his household aid Helena Nieuwenburghs, a German and "out 35 years" They married on January 15, 1679, and after that three more children were born
