Frans Denys (name variations: François de Nijs, François de Nis, François de Nys, François Denis, François Denys, François Dannys, François Nijs, Fransois Denies, Donys; first name also: Fransoos and Fransous) (c. 1610, Antwerp – 1670, Mantua), was a Flemish Baroque painter mainly of portraits. After a successful career in Antwerp he became a court painter in Italy. ==Life== He became a master in the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke in 1631. The next year he married Martina Vleckhamers.〔(Frans Denys ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 They had seven children of which one, Jacob, became a painter like his father.〔(François Denys ) at the Biographie Nationale de Belgique, Volume 5, p. 602-603 〕 Martina Vleckhamers died in 1647.〔(Jacob Denys ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 In the period 1654-1655 he paid reduced dues of 1 guilder to the Guild of St. Luke, an indication of the fact that he had left Antwerp in that period. From 1654 onwards, he was active abroad, first working for the art-loving Duke Frederick III, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp. Subsequently he went to work in Italy as court painter for Ranuccio II Farnese, Duke of Parma. Later he worked for Archduchess Isabella Clara of Austria in Mantua. This is also his last residence where he died in 1670.〔〔(Beatrijs Wolters van der Wey, ''A New Attribution for the Antwerp Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Joannes van Buyten'' ), in: Journal of Historians of Netherlandish Art, Volume 1: Issue 2 (2009)〕 He was the teacher of the painter Jan de Duyts.〔 The artist should be distinguished from the painter of the same name who was active in Ypres around the turn of the 17th century.〔A.
