Jan Baptist van Fornenburgh

Jan Baptist van Fornenburgh (1585 in Antwerp – 1650 in the Hague) was a Dutch Golden Age flower painter.

According to the Netherlands Institute for Art History, the artist signed his works with a monogram; sometimes "IBVF" and sometimes "IB". He worked in Amsterdam and Vianen, as well as the Hague, where he became a member of the Confrerie Pictura in 1629. He was a follower of Balthasar van der Ast and Jacob de Gheyn II.

Work

In addition to flowers, van Fornenburgh painted dead birds, fruits and other objects, in oil or watercolour, on parchment.
