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. Mignon is famous for his ornate and abundant Still Life flower paintings, which usually incorporate bouquets, fruit, game or fish, insects, and decorative objects.  He 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.

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