Frans II Franken
Frans II Franken is an artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.
This 16th-century painter filled big canvases with crowded biblical scenes and classical myths. Look at *Neptun și Amphitrita*—Neptune and his bride riding a seashell chariot, all gold and spray—then *Drumul Crucii*, Jesus dragging his cross through a Jerusalem packed with onlookers. These scenes belong to the late Renaissance, when artists piled detail on detail to impress the eye. Next tap *Neptun și Amphitrite* to see how he carved the same myth into a print.
