Johann Amandus Winck
Johann Wolfgang Amandus Winck (also Wink, * 1748 or 1754 in Eichstätt , † 1817 in Munich) was a German flower painter of the Dutch school.
He was born the son of the painter Johann Chrysostomus Winck (1725–1795) and brother of the priest Josef Willibald Winck (1756–1800).
Winck attended the Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp , together with Pieter Faes (1750–1814), where they were influenced by the works of Jan van Huysum (1682–1749).
After studying in the Netherlands, he returned to Munich and worked there for life.
His floral still lifes showed not only flowers but also fruits, caterpillars, snails, butterflies, beetles and flies as well as parrots, mice and rabbits.
