 This explains the influence of Jan Fyt's style on de Coninck's work.Some works of David de Coninck and Pieter Boel are still attributed to Fyt.As David de Coninck rarely signed his works, which are generally of a high quality and similar style they have often been confused with the works of Boel, Fyt and even Frans Snijders, the leading Flemish animal painter of the first half of the 17th century.
