Around them unfolds the customary retinue of Nereids and Tritons, a great number of which is visible in the distance. This relatively large-scale work on copper, as confirmed by Giancarlo Sestieri, may be attributed to the Flemish painter Frans Francken the Younger, son of Frans Francken I the Elder (1542 &#8211; 1616) and a distinguished member of this dynasty of painters from Antwerp. Having travelled to Italy in his youth, Francken the Younger closely studied the Venetian masters, and likely had the opportunity to encounter Peter Paul Rubens, another formative influence on his style. As noted by Sestieri, a particularly close comparison with our work may be drawn with the painting of the same subject, albeit in a smaller scale (cm 30&#215;41) at the Prado Museum in Madrid, to which, it is worth adding the almost identical painting on copper \u2013 both in size and subject \u2013 of the Chichester Collection at Arlington Court in England.. The stylistic and compositional affinities among the three works on copper are impressive: for instance, the virile figure in the foreground bearing a large fish upon his shoulders \u2013 varied yet closely comparable in all paintings in the twisting of the torso and the foreshortening of the muscular body \u2013 the types of fantastic marine creatures depicted, and even the overall composition, enriched by a grotto animated with numerous figures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1461,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"portfolio-types":[46],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/3083"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3083"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antico.tornabuoniarte.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio-types?post=3083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
