Ignatius Croon (name variations: Ignaz Cronò, Ignaz Croon and nickname: Gaudtvinck or Goudtvinck (meaning 'bullfinch') (1639–1667) was a Flemish Baroque painter who after training in Mechelen moved to Rome where he died at a young age.
[1] In Rome he lived at the home of Pieter Mulier the Younger, a Dutch marine painter, in the parish of the Santa Maria del Popolo.
He became a member of the Bentvueghels, an association of mainly Dutch and Flemish artists working in Rome.
His name appears in one of the niches of the Santa Costanza, the Roman church where the Bentvueghels used to congregate.
A portrait of his brother Peter Croon, now in the Municipal Museum of Mechelen, is attributed to him.
