Artist
Frans Snyders
Frans Snyders is a Baroque artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.
Frans Snyders painted still lifes and animal scenes bursting with detail. His game-filled *Negustor de vânat* and lively *Animale în peisaj deluros* show lifelike birds, fish, and hunting spoils against rustic backdrops. Without a recorded movement, his work belongs to the early 17th-century Flemish tradition. See how he piles texture on texture in *Natură moartă cu homar*, then tap it to zoom in on the glistening shell and gleaming knife.
