According to the Netherlands Institute for Art History, the artist signed his works with a monogram; sometimes "IBVF" and sometimes "IB".[1] He worked in Amsterdam and Vianen, as well as the Hague, where he became a member of the Confrerie Pictura in 1629.[1] He was a follower of Balthasar van der Ast and Jacob de Gheyn II.[1]
Work
[edit]In addition to flowers, van Fornenburgh painted dead birds, fruits and other objects, in oil or watercolour, on parchment.[2]
