meaning

Johann Adalbert Angermayer was an important still life painter of the Baroque period in Bohemia. His role models were not so much the Dutch , but Georg Flegel . He also created miniature still lifes on wood and copper, which are distinguished by their careful execution. Of the more than 70 known works by Angermayer, more than 20 are now in museums in the Czech Republic . A large part comes from the 1723 auction of the art collection of Felix Graf von Wrschowetz -Sekerka von Sedschitz.
