Johann Georg Hainz

Johann Georg Hainz was a German painter of the last third of the 17th century, a representative of the Baroque. He is known as a painter and a master of still life.

Hainz is a key figure of still life painting in Hamburg and one of the few known masters of the genre in Germany in the seventeenth century. He probably trained in Amsterdam and Haarlem, as his works show a good knowledge of Dutch still life painting. He was a member of the art guild of Hamburg from 1681. His works are held in various museums in Germany, including the Hamburg Museum of Arts and Crafts and the Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin.
