Max Carlier was born in 1872 in Tourcoing, a small town in northern France which is close to the Belgian border. Although not much is known about the life of Carlier, he is considered to be one of the great still life masters of florals and fruits. Occasionally he was also known to paint interior views and some genre type scenes. Carlier spent the majority of his lifetime living and working in and around Brussels, although he was also known to have traveled extensively, especially to Italy. For a short period of time Carlier lived in Brittany.
