Simon Germyn or Germain(1656–1709), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.
[1] He was a pupil of Godfried Schalcken and later of Ludowyk Smits, called Hartkamp, who taught him the new way of fruit painting.
[1] He was successful at this, but switched to painting landscapes in garden pergola's and other such household decorations.
[1] Germyn was still living when Houbraken was writing and had stopped painting in order to devote himself entirely to art dealing.
[1] According to the RKD though he is registered as a pupil of Godfried Schalcken and Caspar Smits, no known works survive that are attributed to him.
