Frans Francken II The Younger

Frans Francken II (The Younger) (1581 - 1642) was active/lived in Flemish, Belgium.  Frans Francken II The Younger is known for Allegorical, history, figure and religious painting-monkeys.

Frans Francken the Younger (1581 - 6 May 1642), was a Flemish Baroque painter and the best-known member of the large Francken family of artists.

Francken was born in Antwerp. 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. Later in his life he also painted large altarpieces.
