프란스 판 데르 메인

1719 - 1783 Dutch

18세기 네덜란드계 영국 초상화가

프란스 판 데르 미인은 18세기 네덜란드 북부 출신의 화가였습니다. 네덜란드 미술사 연구소(RKD)에 따르면, 그는 헤르만 판 데르 미인의 아들로, 아버지가 팔츠 선제후 요한 빌헬름을 위해 일하기 위해 뒤셀도르프로 이주했을 때 태어났다. 그는 화가 제임스 래섬에게 영향을 미쳤다. 그는 1742년부터 1748년까지 암스테르담에서 일했고, 헤이그에서도 일한 후 영국으로 돌아와 초상화를 제작했으며, 1761년부터 1772년까지 매년 런던 예술가 협회에 작품을 출품했다. In 1750 Johan van Gool wrote about him, his father, his brothers Robert, George, Andreas and Gerard, and his sister Cornelia who were all good painters. In 1808 Edward Edwards wrote the following about him: "Frank Vandermine, or Vander Mijne: A native of Holland, who lived many years in England, and practised as a portrait painter, both in London and the country. He was some time at Norwich, where he painted several heads. He had considerable merit as an artist, but was of mean address and vulgar manners: He loved smoking and drinking, nor would forego his pipe, though it was offensive to his employers, so that he never acquired the practice which he might otherwise have obtained. He boasted, that after he had painted a portrait, the likeness remained so strong upon his memory, that if the picture were immediately obliterated, he could repaint the resemblance without the assistance of the sitter. He died in indigent circumstances, at his apartments in Moorfields, some time in 1783.
