Justus Junker
  • Biography

    Justus Juncker was apprenticed to the Frankfurt-based façade painter Johann Hugo Schlegel. At the same time, he taught himself at the Frankfurt picture gallery of Baron von Haeckel, who owned an important collection of seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish paintings.

    Initially, Juncker painted portraits and genre scenes as a follower of David Teniers II.
    Around 1745, he took to painting primarily still lifes, inspired by his much-admired model Jan Davidsz. de Heem. His real talent, however, lay in the depiction of patrician interiors in a Dutch or Flemish style.
