Description

After FRANS FRANCKEN II (Antwerp, Belgium, 1581 - 1642). "The Holy Supper". Oil on copper. Presents restorations and Repainting. Measurements: 30 x 24 cm; 40 x 33 cm (frame). This work maintains the same oval format as the original by Fran Francken II. It represents in the foreground the Holy Supper and in the background Jesus Christ washing the feet of St. Peter. In the four corners appear in grisaille the four Evangelists and God the Father. The most fruitful of his family of painters, he trained with his father, Frans Francken I, and in 1605 he joined the Painters' Guild of St. Luke in Antwerp, thus beginning a career that would last until 1640, when he specialized in cabinet painting. His contribution to this genre was of great importance, influencing artists such as Teniers. His style is based on that of Jan Brueghel de Velours, although it also shows strong influences of his father and his uncle, Hieronimus Francken. In his early works, debts to Mannerism and 16th century painting can be appreciated, both in the structure of the compositions and in the rhythm and expression of his figures. They also include evident references to the work of Italian artists such as Raphael, Veronese and Zuccaro. Likewise, the use of prints by Dürer and Lucas de Leyden for some of his figures has been demonstrated. In addition to cabinet painting, Francken painted mythological and biblical themes, some altarpieces and, in collaboration with other artists, painted the figures in landscapes or interior scenes of Tobias Verhaecht, Joos de Momper II, Pieter Neefs or Paul Vredeman de Vries, among others. He is currently represented in the most important art galleries in the world, such as the Prado Museum, the Louvre, the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp, the Kunshistorisches Museum in Vienna, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg and the Royal Collection in London, among many others.
