Frans Francken The Younger
Frans was born into a family of artist and would become the most well known of the members of his family. He was born to Frans Francken the Elder (a student of Historical Flemish Painter Frans Floris (1519 – 1570)) and Elisabeth Mertens; and his father was one of the most important creators of altar pieces in Flanders.
Frans and his brother Hieronymus Francken II (1578 – 1623), both trained under their father Frans the Elder; and may have received additional training in their uncles workshop Hieronymus Francken I (1540 – 1610), which was located in Paris, Frantzia.
After completing his training Frans worked in the family workshop, and from there became an independent master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1605; becoming a deacon of the Guild in 1616.
Frans was a diverse painter that created artwork in many different genres; with many of his works being based on historical and biblical figures; and over the years he became a very successful painter and operated a workshop, that produced copies of original compositions.
Alexander Keirincx
Alexander was the son of Matthijs Keirincx and Anna Mason and specialized as a landscape painter, that was known for his woodland scenes with figures, English castles and country houses; and became a master in the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke somewhere between 1618 edo 1619.
