David de Coninck or David de Koninck (ca. 1644 Antwerp - after 1701, probably Brussels), also known as Rammelaer was a Flemish painter of the Baroque period who specialised in still lifes and landscapes with animals and hunting scenes.
He was apprenticed to Pieter Boel in 1659 and became a master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1663. He stayed together with Nicasius Bernaerts for several years in Paris, probably until 1669. Then he lived in Rome from 1671 to 1694. Here he became a member of the Bentvueghels, an association of mainly Dutch and Flemish artists working in Rome, and took the nickname (the so-called 'bent name') 'Rammelaer' (which means 'rattle').
On his return to the north he stayed for a time in Vienna. He was back in Antwerp in 1687. He moved to Brussels at some time between 1699 and 1701. In 1701 he became a member of the Brussels Guild of Saint Luke.
De Coninck painted still lifes, including fruit still lifes and hunting still lifes, landscapes with hunting scenes and architectural paintings. De Coninck's stylistic development is unclear and it is difficult to date his paintings with any precision. His teacher Pieter Boel was a pupil of Jan Fyt, the leading Flemish animal painter of the mid 17th century. This explains the influence of Jan Fyt's style on de Coninck's work. Some works of David de Coninck and Pieter Boel are still attributed to Fyt.
De Coninck's work influenced other artists in Italy such as Baldassare De Caro, Giovanni Crivelli (named 'il Crivellino'), Nicola Malinconico, Franz Werner von Tamm and Jacob Xavier Vermoelen.
Works by De Coninck can be seen at the National Gallery in London and the Victoria Gallery at Bath in the UK. Allegory of Vigilance is owned by a private collector in Somerset, UK.

The Flemish animal painter David de Coninck was a pupil of Peeter Boel (1622-1674) in Antwerp. Both de Coninck and Boel worked in a manner closely related to latter's master, Joannes Fijt (1611-1661).
Along with his hunting still lifes, it was such elegant park landscapes, often filled with exotic creatures, that formed the mainstay of de Coninck's production.
Two similar versions by David de Coninck are known, among which a painting sold at Parke-Bernet, New York, 3 November 1967, lot 34, as Jan Fijt, together with a pendant of Game in an interior with a cat.
