Biography

Gillis II Coignet (September 1586 in Antwerp – after 1641 in Antwerp) was a Flemish history and landscape painter.

Gillis II was the son of Jacob Coignet (III) and Hester van Beringen. He marriedMagdalena van der Beken on 29 September 1609. He had at least nine children: Jacob, Joanna, Anna, Egidius, Hester, Barbara, Michiel, Maria, Gulielmus. He joined the Guild of St. Luke in 1607 as a master's son. He was active until at least 1641/42.

Gillis' style resembles that of Gillis van Coninxloo and the Frankenthal school. Gillis' son Jacob was also a painter.
