German painter (b. 1566, Olomouc, d. 1638, Frankfurt am Main). was a German painter, best known for his still life works. Flegel was born in Olmetz (Olomouc), Moravia. Around 1580 he moved to Vienna, where he became the assistant to Lucas van Valckenborch I, a painter and draughtsman. Flegel and his employer later moved to Frankfurt, which at the time was an important art-dealing city. As an assistant, he inserted items such as fruit, flowers, and table utensils into Valckenborch's works. In a period of about 30 years (c. 1600-1630), he produced 110 watercolor pictures, mostly still life images which often depicted tables set for meals and covered with food, flowers, and the occasional animal.   Related Paintings of FLEGEL, Georg :. | Still-Life with Bread and Confectionary dg | Detail of A Fete at Bermondsey or A Marriage Feast at Bermondsey | Still Life with Stag Beetle te | Still Life with Parrot | Still-life with Fish dfgw |
