{"title":"Flegel, Georg","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorg Flegel (c.1566-1638)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a German painter, best known for his still-life works. Born in Olomouc (now in the Czech Republic), he later worked in Frankfurt am Main, where he became a leading figure in early German still-life painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlegel was born in Olomouc, Moravia. Around 1580, he moved to Vienna, where he worked as an assistant to Lucas van Valckenborch, a painter and draughtsman. He was a pupil of Valckenborch in Linz from 1582 to 1592.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlegel later moved to Frankfurt, then an important centre for art dealing. As an assistant, he added elements such as fruit, flowers, and table utensils to Valckenborch's compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe is probably the same person identified by Kramm in Utrecht as “Juriaen Vlegel, constschilder,” recorded in the protocol of the notary Verduyn on 21 March 1616. If so, he may have moved there following the establishment of the Utrecht Guild of St. Luke and might have known other still-life painters active in the city at that time, such as Roelandt Savery and Balthasar van der Ast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a period of about 30 years (c.1600-1630), Flegel produced around 110 watercolor and oil paintings, mostly still lifes depicting tables set for meals and arranged with food, flowers, and occasional animals. Among his students were his sons Friedrich (1596\/1597-1616) and Jacob (probably identical with Leonhard, 1602-1623), as well as the flower painter Jacob Marrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlegel died in 1638 in Frankfurt am Main.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"flegel-georg-1566-1638-still-life-of-birds-and-insects-1637","title":"Flegel, Georg (1566-1638) - Still Life of Birds and Insects 1637","description":"\u003cp\u003ePainting by the German artist Georg Flegel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download consists of 1 image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 5229 pixels wide by 4806 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/flegel-georg\" title=\"Georg Flegel\"\u003eGeorg Flegel\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61140898873674,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Flegel_Georg_1566-1638_-_Still_Life_of_Birds_and_Insects_1637_main.jpg?v=1771528209"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Flegel_Georg_1566-1638-7107408.jpg?v=1771528110","url":"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/flegel-georg.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
