Franz Michael Siegmund von Purgau
Franz Michael Siegmund von Purgau is a Baroque artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.
Franz Michael Siegmund von Purgau painted still lifes and metalwork in the late 17th to early 18th century. His still-life pairings include *Natură moartă cu broască* and *Natură moartă cu năpârcă*—one features a frog, the other a snake—each balanced by its pendant on a dark, draped table. He also made *Kasveja ja eläimiä*, a metalwork piece blending organic forms and craft. If you like tight compositions and muted palettes, tap into his pairings of *Natură moartă cu broască* to see how he balanced creatures and drapery.
