Flegel, from Moravia, worked in Vienna and (after 1593) in Frankfurt. His style eschews Netherlandish refinement in favor of naturalistic precision, a tradition extending from the nature studies of Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) and Hans Hoffmann (1545/50—1591/92) to the miniatures of Joris Hoefnagel (1542–1601?) and drawings by Jacques de Gheyn (1565–1629).
