FORNENBURGH, Jan Baptist van

(b. ~1585 Antwerpen, d. 1649 Den Haag)

Dutch painter, born in Antwerp and settled in The Hague. He specialised in painting on vellum highly decorative bouquets of flowers, or more humble floral subjects, often accompanied by small animals, even insects.

Flowers

This still-life depicts butterfly, bumble-bee, stock, tulip, roses, and forget-me-nots. The painter frequently used, like in this case, stone table-top on which to arrange the flowers.
