Flemish Baroque Era Painter, 1581-1642 was a Flemish Baroque painter and the best-known member of the large Francken family of artists. 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 displaying a wealth of natural and artistic treasures against a neutral wall. Francken frequently collaborated with other artists, adding figures to works by Tobias Verhaecht and Abraham Govaerts.   Related Paintings of Frans Francken II :. | Gastmahl im Hause des Burgermeisters Rockox | Der Bethlehemitische Kindermord. | The Parable of the Prodigal Son | Allegory on the Abdication of Emperor Charles V in Brussels | The Triumph of Neptune and Amphitrite |
