'''Laurent Geedts''' ([[Leuven]], 1728 – Leuven, 1813) was a [[Flemish]] [[still life]] [[painter]] active in Leuven. He is known for his [[trompe l'oeil]] still lifes of game birds.<ref name=bal>[https://ift.tt/2osVrAU Ma Pacco, 'Laurent Geedts'] in: ''Dictionnaire des peintres belges'' </ref>
==Life==
Laurent Geedts was born in Leuven where he appears to have been active throughout his career. He is the first artist in the Geedts family and was followed by a large number of painters, sculptors and engravers. His nephew [[Josse-Pieter Geedts]] was a genre, history and religious artist and Josse-Pieter's son Pieter Paul was a portrait painter, lithographer and sculptor. The artists in the Geedts family further included Guillaume-Auguste (1802-1866) and his three sons Auguste, Hippolyte and Paul.<ref name=bre>[https://ift.tt/2wzWsei Laurent Geedts, ''Trompe l'oeil still life of birds hanging from nails against a wooden wall''] at John Bennett Fine Arts, London</ref>
He was the master of [[Francois Xavier Joseph Jaquin]] (1756-1826).<ref name=bre/>

Laurent specialised in still life paintings and in particular [[trompe l'oeil]] still lifes of game. He was active as a decorative artist whose works were designed to be displayed over a chimney or as an over-door. He produced accurately observed depictions of birds.
His work continued the tradition of [[trompe l'oeil]] still lifes of game of the Netherlandish masters of the 17th century such as [[Jacob Biltius]], [[Cornelis Biltius]] and [[Cornelis Norbertus Gysbrechts]]. His illusionistic works of game birds against a plain or wooden wall use natural light and shade effects, combined with a very detailed and precise rendering of the plumage to create the trompe l'oeil effect that they appear to be real.<ref name=bre/>
