1566-1638 Georg Flegel Location German painter. He was the son of a shoemaker, and not being a Roman Catholic, probably moved to Vienna after 1580, when the Counter-Reformation began to take effect in Olmetz. In Vienna he became the assistant of Lucas van Valckenborch I, whom he subsequently followed to Frankfurt, then an important centre for art dealing and publishing. He filled in staffage in van Valckenborch pictures of the seasons and portraits, inserting fruit, table utensils and flowers as still-life set pieces. His faithful reproduction of flowers and fruit drew on watercolours by Derer, still-life painters from the Netherlands living in Frankfurt, and botanical and zoological illustrations by Joris Hoefnagel, Pieter van der Borcht IV and Carolus Clusius (1525-1609) then being published in Frankfurt.  Related Paintings of Georg Flegel :. | Still life of grapes on a pewter dish,together with peaches,nuts,a glass roemer and a silver tazza containing apples and pears,and a blue-tit | Style life table with flowers, Essuaren and Studenglas | Still Life with Bread and Confectionery 7 | Two Tulips | Still life with herring und Bartmann jug |
