Frans van, zis Floris Vriendt is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.

Frans van Vriendt painted lively mythological scenes and detailed portraits. Look for his Mars and Venus Spied on by the Gods of Olympus, where gods peek through clouds at the gods of war and love. His print Man in a Red Hood shows a hooded figure in strong lines.

Both works belong to the Northern Renaissance, when artists filled every corner with stories and symbols. Tap Man in a Red Hood to see how he balanced shadow and light in a single print.
