Gillis II Coignet
Gillis II Coignet (September 1586[1] in Antwerp – after 1641 in Antwerp[2]) was a Flemish history and landscape painter.
Gillis II was the son of Jacob Coignet (III) and Hester van Beringen.[3] He married Magdalena van der Beken on 29 September 1609. He had at least nine children: Jacob, Joanna, Anna, Egidius, Hester, Barbara, Michiel, Maria, Gulielmus.[4] He joined the Guild of St. Luke in 1607 as a master's son.[5] He was active until at least 1641/42.
Gillis' style resembles that of Gillis van Coninxloo and the Frankenthal school. Gillis' son Jacob was also a painter.
