Frans de Jongh
Frans de Jongh is a Dutch Golden Age artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Statens Museum for Kunst.
Dutch artists in 1682 painted big biblical and myth scenes with bright colors and dramatic poses. Frans de Jongh showed Cadmus fighting a dead dragon and Jason taming another one in two large oil paintings from that year. Look for the swirling dragon tails and the heroes’ strong poses in Cadmus and the Dead Dragon and Jason Charming the Dragon. Tap Jason Charming the Dragon to zoom in on the dragon’s green scales and Jason’s velvet coat.
