Artist
Franciscus Josephus Fricot
Franciscus Josephus Fricot is a Rococo painting painter. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Rijksmuseum, most of them oil paintings.
This 18th-century Dutch painter specialized in portrait medallions cast in brass, copper, and bronze. His work includes a brass portrait of governor-general Jeremias van Riemsdijk from 1775, and two copper and bronze portraits of Reinier de Klerk, each dated 1777 and 1779. These pieces belong to the colonial-era portrait tradition in the Dutch East Indies.
Tap into Fricot’s bronze portrait of Reinier de Klerk to see how a single face could be cast in three metals.
