Gillis Coignet or Gillis Coignet (I), known in Italy as Giulio Cognietta (many variant spellings of the family name, including Quinet, Quinget, Cognget, Cognet, Coignet, Congnet and Quiniet) (c. 1542 – 1599) was a Flemish Renaissance painter. He painted mainly mythological, biblical and allegorical subjects, and was particularly known for his nocturnal scenes lit by candlelight or moonlight. During a decade long sojourn in Italy, he absorbed the influence of contemporary Italian artists, in particular, Titian and Tintoretto. As a Lutheran, he was forced to leave Antwerp after the Fall of Antwerp in 1585 and spent the final part of his career first in Amsterdam and then Hamburg.
