), also known as Rammelaar was a Flemish
painter of the Baroque
period. David Koninck was born in Antwerp and studied there under Jan Fyt
. After a few years in Paris, he staid in Rome from ca 1671 to 1694, where joined the Bentvueghels
with the nickname Rammelaar (rattle). He is sometimes stated to have died in Rome in 1687; however, he returned to his home country and is last recorded becoming a member of the painters guild in Brussels in 1701.
