MIGNON, ABRAHAM (1640-1697)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 427 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MIGNON, ABRAHAM (1640-1697) , Dutch painter, was born at Frankfort. His father, a merchant, placed him under the still-life painter Jacob Merrel, by whom he was taken to Holland about 166o. He then worked under de Heem at Utrecht, where in 1675 he married the daughter of the painter Cornelis Willaerts. Sibylle
Merian
  (1647-1717), daughter of the engraver
Matthew
 
Merian
 , became his pupil and achieved distinction as a flower painter. He died at Wetzlar. Mignon devoted himself almost exclusively to
flowers
 , fruit, birds and other " still life," though at times he also attempted
portraiture
 . His flower pieces are marked by careful finish and delicate handling. His favourite
scheme
  was to introduce red or white roses in the centre of the canvas and to set the whole group of
flowers
  against a dark background. Nowhere can his
work
  be seen to better advantage than at the Dresden Gallery, which contains fifteen of his paintings, twelve of which are signed. Six of his pictures are at the Louvre, four at the Hermitage, and other examples are to be found at the museums of
Amsterdam
 , The Hague, Rotterdam, Brussels,
Munich
 , Karlsruhe, Brunswick, Cassel, Schwerin,
Copenhagen
  and Turin.
