Jeremias van Winghe was a Flemish painter known for his portraits, genre scenes, kitchen scenes and still life paintings. After training in Brussels and Amsterdam, he was mainly active in Frankfurt am Main.

Jeremias van Winghe was born in Brussels in 1578 as the son of Joos van Winghe. His father was a painter who had studied in Italy and had become court painter to Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma in Brussels. The family van Winghe left the Southern Netherlands in 1584, possibly because of the Spanish repression at that time. They established themselves in Frankfurt am Main. Jeremias van Winghe likely started his training with his father.

Van Winghe initially trained as a portrait painter. When his father died in 1603, he went to study with the Flemish painter Frans Badens who resided in Amsterdam.

After spending time in Italy, Jeremias van Winghe established himself in Frankfurt am Main. In addition to portraits he also painted highly finished and beautifully executed still lifes, at a time when this subject matter was still fairly unexplored. He must have been among the first artists to introduce this type of painting to Frankfurt. On marrying Anne Maria Mertens, the daughter of a jeweller, in 1616, he largely abandoned painting in favour of working in his father-in-law's business. He returned to painting later around 1640, and the break in his artistic activity partially explains the scarcity of his known oeuvre.
