POURBUS, Frans the Younger
Flemish painter (b. 1569, Antwerpen, d. 1622, Paris).
was a Flemish painter, son of Frans Pourbus the Elder and grandson of Pieter Pourbus. He was born in Antwerp and died in Paris. He is also referred to as "Frans II". Pourbus worked for many of the highly influential people of his day, including the Brussels-based Spanish Regents of the Netherlands, the Duke of Mantua and Marie de' Medici, Queen of France. Works of his can be found in the Louvre, the Prado, the Rijksmuseum, the Royal College of Art, Related Paintings of POURBUS, Frans the Younger :. | Portrait of Petrus Ricardus zg | Marie de Mdicis, Queen of France | Portrait of Guillaume Duvair | Portrait of Jan van Eyewerve urf | Portrait of Claude de Lorrain, Prince of Chevreuse af | Related Artists: Giovanni StanchiItalian, 1608-died after 1673 Wilhelmina Lagerholm1826-1917 Konstakademien Lagerholm studerade samtidigt med Malmström såväl vid konstakademien i stockholm som för couture i paris. Antonio PonceSpanish, 1608-1662,Spanish painter. He had an undistinguished career in Madrid as a painter of still-lifes and flower-pieces. In 1624 Ponce was apprenticed to Juan van der Hamen y Leen, whose niece he married in 1628. The format of Ponce's compositions and some of his motifs derive from works by van der Hamen, though lacking their subtlety of composition, spatial clarity and formal conviction. In Vase of Flowers, signed and dated 1650 (Strasbourg, Mus. B.-A.), Ponce's style shows laboured imitation of van der Hamen's: his dry execution results in a paradoxically airless and petrified quality. Ponce was always a derivative artist, and some of his still-lifes with seasonal themes are similar to works by Francisco de Barrera, another modest painter with whom he was documented in the 1630s. Paintings from the 1640s and 1650s depicting baskets of fruit and bunches of grapes against light backgrounds are characterized by compositional informality, softer lighting and freer brushwork, through which Ponce attempted to convey the textures of objects and endow the subject with greater naturalness.
