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.
