—————————

“Nothing is known of Flegel’s beginnings, but presumably he received his training in the Netherlands. There is evidence that he worked at least from 1594 in Frankfurt am Main , at first as an assistant to the #Flemish #artist

Lucas von Valckenborch, whose painting he adorned with fruit, metalware and flowers.”
