G. van Deynum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
G. van Deynum (fl. 1650-1659) was a still life painter active in Antwerp in the 1650s. Only a dozen works by his hand have been identified to date. Van Deynum painted banquet style still lifes and vanitas still lifes.[1]
Nothing is known about the life of G. van Deynum. Only the first initial of his name is known. He is in some sources referred to as 'Guilliam van Deynum'.[2][3] He is believed to have been a member of the family of artists active in Antwerp, which included the miniaturists Jan Baptist and Abraham van Deynum.[4] His activity in Antwerp in the 1650s is known from one work dated 1654.[1]
G. van Deynum is sometimes confused with the artist Gerard (Gerrit) van Deynen who worked in The Hague and was possibly the father or brother of the still life painter Isaac van Duynen.[1][3][5] He is sometimes also confused with the Flemish portrait painter Guilliam van Deynum.[6]
