Description: | Frans Francken II was born in Antwerp in 1582, the son of Frans Francken I. However, the son achieved far greater artistic recognition than the father, producing altarpieces, furniture panels and small cabinet pictures, with innovative religious, mythological or allegorical subject matter. A significant influence on artists such as Jan Brueghel, Jan van Kessel, Teniers and Rubens, Francken's perhaps most important contribution to the development of Dutch genre painting was in his depictions of monkeys enacting scenes of human vice. | Subjects: | religion (John the Baptist); figure; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Francken, Frans, II (Flemish painter, 1581-1642) Æ Attributed to circle of Attributed to Francken, Frans, II (Flemish painter, 1581-1642) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8420... | Go to resource |
