(1616-1681) Hercules Farnese, black chalk on greyish-blue laid paper, 54,8 x 31,8 cm, laid down on support, mounted, framed, (Sch)
Provenance: Private collection, Germany.
Originating from Mecheln, the Flemish Baroque painter Lucas Franchoys the Younger was mainly known as a portraitist and painter of altar paintings. After his formation in Antwerp which was the center of Flemish art at that time he may have worked in the workshop of Peter Paul Rubens for some time according to his biographer Cornelis de Bie. Fis style, hweevr, seems to be influenced by Anthonis van Dyck who he collaborated with and after whose paintings he made etchings. Lucas Franchoys executed his first monumental altar paintings for Tournai from 1649 onwards and thus established his fame as one of the leading religious painters in the second half of the 17th century. In 1654 he moved bach to Mechelen, where he became a member of the guid of Saint Luke. Apart from assignments for churches and monasteries he was occupied with portrait painting. His drawing oeuvre has not yet been sufficiently researched and only few figure studies have hitherto been clearly attributed to the artist. Like the present drawing his sheets were mainly executed in black or red chalk on blue paper and are datable from the 1650s to the 1660s. Comparable drawings by the artist are preserved in Amsterdam, Darmstadt and in Frankfurt and in the Fondation Custudia in Paris.
