SECT, xx PIETER VAN SLINGELAND 421 According to Jan van Gool, JACOB VAN DER SLUIS (1660-1732) and JOHANNES TiLius 1 (about i66o-towards 1700) were pupils of Slingeland. Both of them belong entirely to the decadence of art, and are so much weaker than their master that it is not easy to confuse their works with his. On the other hand, the works of an older contemporary named PIETER VAN DEN Bos (about i6i3-after 1660), were until lately ascribed as a matter of course to our master, to whom he shows a remarkably close relationship in his still-life pieces and kitchen-scenes. Through the researches of Bode and Bredius, this master, who had been completely for- gotten, has become for us once more a definite artistic personality.
