  • Biography

    Hieronymus Francken (1578, Antwerp - 1623, Antwerp), was a Flemish Baroque painter and well known member of the famous Francken family of Antwerp artists.

    According to the RKD he was the son of Elisabeth Mertens and Frans Francken I, who was his first teacher. He was entered into the books (liggeren) of the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke in 1607 as a pupil of his uncle Ambrosius. He influenced the painter Jacob van Hulsdonck.

    In 1620 he produced a curious picture of Horatius Cocles Defending the Sublician Bridge, which still hangs in the Antwerp museum.
