Abraham Mignon Oil Painting Reproductions

Dutch Golden Age paintings by Abraham Mignon

Abraham Mignon was a Still Life painter during the late 16th and early 17th centuries of the Dutch Golden Age.

The artist is famous for his ornate and abundant still-life flower paintings, which usually incorporate bouquets, fruit and game or fish, insects, and decorative objects.

Mignon was born in Frankfurt in 1640 and died in March 1679 at the young age of 39. His parents were shopkeepers who originally hailed from the Netherlands. 

The family belonged to the Calvinist Church, a Reformation doctrine formed in 1519.

Abraham Mignon commenced his art studies at around the age of 9 when his parents arranged an apprenticeship to a still-life artist by the name of Jacob Marrel.

He also worked under the tutelage of the Flemish Baroque painter Jan Davdsz de Heem. The similarity in the color and composition of both artists' paintings is evident.
