a Flanders-born Dutch Golden Age painter. After his schooling, Savery traveled to Prague around 1604, where he became court painter of the Emperors Rudolf II and Mathias. Savery primarily painted landscapes in the Flemish tradition of Gillis van Coninxloo, often embellished with many meticulously painted animals and plants, regularly with a mythological or biblical theme as background. He also painted multiple flower still lifes; bouquets in stone niches, sometimes with lizards, insects or fallen petals and regarded as his best work.
