Snyders, Frans

▪ Dutch painter
Snyders also spelled  Snijders, Sneyders, Snyers, or Sneis 
baptized Nov. 11, 1579, Antwerp
died Aug. 19, 1657, Antwerp

      Baroque artist who was the most noted 17th-century painter of hunting scenes and animals in combat. He studied under Pieter Brueghel the Younger, and afterward under Hendrik van Balen. He visited Italy in 1608. In 1611 he married Margaretha de Vos, the sister of the Flemish painters Cornelis and Paul de Vos.

      Snyders originally devoted himself to painting flowers, fruit, and still-life subjects, later turning to his lively depictions of animals. The compositions of these scenes of hunting and animals fighting are rich and varied. His drawing is accurate and vigorous, and his touch bold and thoroughly expressive of the different textures of furs and skins. Rubens (Rubens, Peter Paul) frequently employed him to paint animals, fruit, and still-life objects in his own pictures. Snyders was appointed principal painter to the archduke Albert, governor of the Low Countries, for whom he executed some of his finest works. One of these, a “Stag Hunt,” was presented to Philip III of Spain, who commissioned the artist to paint several subjects of the chase.
