Georg Flegel was the first German painter to treat still life as a subject in its own right instead of a background detail. He worked in Frankfurt around 1600, painting small panels of food, flowers and insects with an accuracy that looks almost forensic, and the Dutch still life tradition follows on from him.
This is the Hatje catalogue from the Historisches Museum Frankfurt exhibition, with full page colour plates and the scholarship to go with them.
