Jan Fijt, Jan Fijt or Johannes Fijt (or Fyt) (19 August 1609[citation needed] – 11 September 1661) was a Flemish Baroque painter, draughtsman and etcher. One of the leading still life and animaliers of the 17th century, he was known for his refined flower and fruit still lives, depictions of animals, garland painting and lush hunting pieces, and combinations of these subgenres, such as game, flowers and fish under a festoon of flowers.[1] He was probably the master of the prominent Pieter Boel, who worked in a style very similar to that of Fyt.[2]
