塞巴斯蒂安·弗兰克斯
佛兰德斯战争画先驱
塞巴斯蒂安·弗兰克斯(Sebastiaen Vrancx、Sebastiaan Vrancx 或 Sebastian Vranckx)是一位佛兰德斯巴洛克画家和素描家,主要以战斗场景闻名,他是荷兰绘画中这一题材的先驱。他还创作了带有神话和寓言场景的风景画、强盗场景、乡村场景以及城市庆典。他是一位才华横溢的人物画家,经常受邀为其他画家的作品绘制点缀人物。 塞巴斯蒂安·弗兰克斯于1573年1月22日在安特卫普的圣雅各伯教堂受洗。他的父亲扬是一名商人。他的母亲是芭芭拉·库特罗。 他曾是亚当·范·诺尔特工作室的学徒,亚当·范·诺尔特也是其他著名安特卫普画家如彼得·保罗·鲁本斯、雅各布·约尔丹斯和亨德里克·范·巴伦的老师。据信,在完成学徒期后,这位艺术家访问了意大利,因为他直到1600年才成为安特卫普圣路加公会的成员。 他在安特卫普开始了自己的职业生涯,并获得了同行艺术家的认可。他尤其以战争场景画家而备受推崇,众所周知,彼得·保罗·鲁本斯曾收藏过这位艺术家的一幅战争场景画作。 1610年,他受邀加入精英团体"罗马主义者兄弟会",这是一个由安特卫普的人文主义者和艺术家组成的社团。入会的条件是成员必须曾前往罗马旅行。兄弟会成员的多样性及其所担任的高位为他提供了结识潜在赞助人的良好机会。1611年,他当选为行会画家分会的会长。自1613年起,弗兰克斯成为当地市民民兵的成员及区队长,并于1626年应安特卫普市长的请求,担任民兵队长五年,以换取完全免除税收和市政服务义务。该职位赋予弗兰克斯佩剑的权利。安东尼·范·戴克在为他绘制肖像时,正是以他身侧佩剑、姿态矫健的形象呈现的。 Vrancx was a member of the chamber of rhetoric the Violieren, which was linked to the Guild of Saint Luke. He was very active in the chamber of rhetoric and when he served as its factor he wrote about 13 comedies and a number of poems. Vrancx collaborated with Jan Brueghel the Younger, Hendrick van Balen and Frans Francken II on an emblem for the Violieren for which the Violieren obtained a first prize in 1618. 弗兰克斯遭遇了个人悲剧,他的妻子和独生女芭芭拉在1639年相隔几个月相继去世。他本人于1647年5月19日在安特卫普去世。 The pupils of Vrancx included Peter Snayers who became a leading battle painter and Balthasar Courtois, whose work is virtually unknown. There is no clear view of the size of Vrancx' studio. In a letter of 1634, Jan Brueghel the Younger wrote to his business partner in Seville that: 'Vrancx has plenty to do but refuses to employ studio assistants, which means that work takes a long time. He does not allow copies to be put into circulation'.
