Ян ван Кессель Старший родился в Антверпене и принадлежал к династии знаменитых художников. Его дедушкой был Ян Брейгель Старший , а Давид Тенирс Младший приходился ему дядей. Он был учеником художника-историка Симона де Воса , но, по-видимому, его также обучал его дядя Ян Брейгель Младший (1601–1678).

Ван Кессель присоединился к антверпенской гильдии Святого Луки в 1645 году и специализировался на цветочных натюрмортах , тщательных исследованиях насекомых и аллегорических сериях, представляющих четыре элемента, чувства или части света.

Born in Antwerp, Jan van Kessel the Elder belonged to a dynasty of famous painters. His grandfather was Jan Brueghel the Elder, and David Teniers the Younger was his uncle. He was a pupil of the history painter Simon de Vos, but was apparently also instructed by his uncle Jan Brueghel the Younger (1601–1678).

Van Kessel joined the Antwerp guild of Saint Luke in 1645 and specialised in flower still lifes, meticulous studies of insects, and allegorical series representing the four elements, the senses, or the parts of the world.
