G. 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.

[1][3][5] He is sometimes also confused with the Flemish portrait painter Guilliam van Deynum.

[7] His work shows the influence of Jan Davidszoon de Heem, a Dutch still life painter who was active in Antwerp from the mid-1630s.

Some of van Duynum's still lifes copied elements of compositions by de Heem from the late 1640s and early 1650s.

[8] The artist was particularly skilled at rendering surface textures and light effects.
