compared to the extensive information about American artists.
Frans Francken the Younger (1581 – 6 May 1642), was a Flemish Baroque painter and the best-known member of the large Francken family of artists.
Francken was born in Antwerp. Many of his works are small historical, allegorical and biblical cabinet paintings with the focus on figures. He also invented or popularized several new themes that became popular in Flemish painting, such as genre scenes populated by monkeys (later imitated by David Teniers the Younger) and Kunstkamer paintings dis (showing 500 of 841 characters). |
