Biography
Training under Rembrandt is recorded. Gerrit Battem is recorded as having studied under Abraham Furnerius. The recorded working language is Dutch. Places of work recorded in the authority are Amsterdam. Work by Abraham Furnerius is recorded in the collections of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Städel Museum and Museum Bredius.
He was born and died in Rotterdam. According to the RKD he was a Rembrandt pupil at the same time as Samuel van Hoogstraten, Philips Koninck and Govert Flinck. Though he died young, he established a workshop and became the teacher of Gerrit Battem. He was the brother-in-law of Philips Koninck, whose works are sometimes confused with his. No extant paintings are securely ascribed to Furnerius. His surviving body of work consists of a large number of landscape drawings in ink or ink with wash.
