Early life and education

Still life with Spanish iris, morning glory, and cherries by Georg Flegel

Flegel was born in

Valckenborch in Linz from 1582 till 1592.[1]

Flegel 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.

He is probably the same person Kramm found in Utrecht as ‘juriaen vlegel, Constschilder.’ in the "Protokol" of the notary (or real estate agent) Verduyn, noted as "Acte van 21 Maart, 1616".

Notable works

In a period of about 30 years (c. 1600–1630), he produced 110

watercolor and oil pictures, mostly still-life images which often depicted tables set for meals and covered with food, flowers and the occasional animal. Among his students were his own two sons, Friedrich (1596/1597–1616) and Jacob (probably Leonhard, 1602–1623), as well as the flower artist Jacob Marrel
.

Flegel died in 1638 in
