Frans, Carelse
b. 1683
Frans, Carelse is a Dutch Golden Age artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Leiden University Libraries.
This Dutch painter, active in the late 1600s, made formal portraits of church leaders like Casparus de Carpentier, a Walloon minister. The sitter’s stiff black coat and white collar sit against a dark background, the kind of work that hung in Amsterdam homes or church halls in the 1600s. If you like stiff lace collars and serious faces, tap the portrait to see every button and fold up close.
