Hieronymus Francken I (ca. 1540, Herentals–1610, Paris) was a Flemish painter of the Antwerp school and an important member of the Francken family of artists. ==Life== Hieronymus Francken I was born in Herentals as the son of Nicolaes Francken, a painter from Herentals.〔Christa Grössinger, ''North-European panel paintings: catalogue of Netherlandish & German paintings before 1600 in English churches & colleges'', Harvey Miller, 1992, p. 263〕 His father later settled in Antwerp and was likely his first teacher.〔 His brothers Frans Francken I and Ambrosius Francken I both became successful painters. According to Karel van Mander, who referred to him three times using three different names, i.e. ''Ieroon Francken van Herenthals'', ''Ieroon Vrancks'', and ''Ieroon Franck'', Francken was a pupil of Frans Floris.〔(Ieroon Francken ) in Karel van Mander's ''Schilder-boeck'', 1604 〕 It is unclear whether he traveled to Italy after his training in Antwerp. Such a trip is suggested by a work of his hand dated 1565 that depicts a scene from the Carnival of Venice (in the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum in Aachen).〔(Hieronymus Francken I bij Oxford Art Online )〕 From 1566 to 1572 he was in France where he was one of the masters employed to decorate the Palace of Fontainebleau.〔(Ieroon Vrancks ) mentioned by Van Mander in Cornelis Ketel biography〕 Cornelis Floris, the Antwerp architect, sent his son to Paris in 1568 to train with Hieronymus Francken I.〔 In 1571 he returned to Antwerp to finish the ''Adoration of the Magi'' that had been left unfinished by Frans Floris when he died in 1570.〔(Biographical details in the Larousse encyclopedia ) 〕 In 1574 he is documented in Antwerp.〔(Hieronymus Francken I at the RKD ) 〕 From 1578 until his death he lived in Paris and Fontainebleau, where he was appointed court painter to the French court in 1594.〔 He was the teacher of Abraham Bloemaert for a short time during Bloemaert's stay in Paris and Fontainebleau from 1581 to 1583.〔(Ieroon Franck ) mentioned by Van Mander in Abraham Bloemaert biography〕 His daughter Isabella was a history and genre painter.〔(Isabella Francken, ''The Road to Calvary'' ) at Bonhams〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hieronymus Francken I」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
