Franciscus De Neve (II)
Franciscus de Neve (II) (also: Frans de (II) Neve, Fraciscus de Neuff, Francesco della Neve and nicknames: Bloosaerken and Blaserken) (1632, Antwerp – after 1704) was a Flemish painter and engraver. He is known for his late Baroque religious and mythological scenes and landscapes. He had an international career in Italy, Southern Germany and Austria where he worked for aristocratic patrons and churches; He returned to his native Flanders later in his life.

The confusion between the two artists still continues to this day. Only recently have art historians attem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
