Engelbert Ergo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Engelbert Ergo or Engel Ergo (c. 1615 – after 1652) was a Flemish Baroque painter of history paintings and landscapes. His few known works often include religious elements or allegories.
Details about the life of Engelbert Ergo are scarce. He was born in Oudenaarde.[1] He was registered in the guild year 1629–30 under the name Engel Ergo in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke as a pupil of Kerstiaen de Keuninck, an artist known for his oeuvre of landscapes and disaster scenes.[2] He was registered as a master in 1641–42. In 1644–45 and 1651–52 he took on pupils.
There are no records about the artist after 1652.[1] He is believed to have worked for the Antwerp art dealers such as the Forchondt family.[3]
