Franciscus de Neve (II)

Franciscus de Neve (II) (c. 1632 - c. 1704), also known as Franciscus de Neve the Younger, was a Flemish painter and printmaker active during the Baroque period. He is distinguished from his father, Franciscus de Neve (I), who was also a painter. He is primarily known for his cabinet paintings, landscapes with religious or mythological scenes, and genre scenes depicting peasant life.

De Neve (II) was likely born and trained in Antwerp. He traveled extensively throughout Europe, spending time in Italy and possibly Spain, which is reflected in the Italianate and Spanish influences present in some of his works. His paintings often feature meticulously detailed figures set within broader landscapes, displaying a characteristic Flemish attention to detail. His work can be found in several museums and private collections across Europe. While not as well-known as some of his contemporaries, Franciscus de Neve (II) is a recognized figure in Flemish Baroque art.
