Frans Francken came from a family of Flemish painters active in the 16th and 17th centuries, mainly in Antwerp The two most distinguished members were Frans I (1542-1616) and his son Frans II (1581-1642) The father painted religious and historical compositions. The earlier paintings were life-size and the later ones were small. Frans II had a style much like his fathers but his range was wider. He painted landscapes and genre scenes as well as historical pictures. He was one of the first artists to use the interior of a picture gallery as a subject. His paintings were more colorful than his fathers and there was more detail. Frans II was employed by his fellow artists in Antwerp to paint figures in their landscapes and interiors.
