Frans Snyders

Frans Snyders (1579 - 1657) was active/lived in Netherlands, Belgium.  Frans Snyders is known for Still life, figure, portrait, genre, animal painting.

Frans Snyders is the progenitor of Flemish Baroque still-life and animal painting. He worked intensively for about 50 years, producing an enormous body of works, of which more than 300 paintings survive, along with some oil sketches and about 100 drawings. Through his own paintings and his collaboration with Rubens and other artists, his influence was considerable.

His father, Jan Snyders, was the keeper of a well-known Antwerp inn favoured by artists. In 1593 Frans became apprenticed to Pieter Brueghel II. It is thought he was also a pupil of Hendrick van Balen.

Snyders specialized in still-life and animal painting and became a master of the Antwerp painters' guild in 1602. His earliest known work, Still-life with Game, Birds, Fruit and Vegetables (1603; ex-Gal. Willems, Brussels, 1956, see Greindl, 1983, p. 287), almost seems to be cut out from a large kitchen-piece by Pieter Aertsen or Joachim Beuckelaar, and the Kitchen Maid[Displaying 1000 of 12274 characters.]  Artist bio
