Frans van Everbroeck

Garland of Fruit and Berries

Oil on canvas (relined). 61 x 93 cm.

Information about the life of Frans van Everbroeck is scarce. It is assumed that he was born around 1628, probably in Antwerp. It is here that he is first mentioned in the lists of the Guild of St Luke in 1654/1655, as a pupil of the prominent still life painter Joris van Son.
Van Everbroeck was active in Antwerp until 1672, with the exception of a short period in 1667 when he worked in Amsterdam. Peeter Lints was registered as his pupil in the guild year 1672-73. The next record of the artist shows him in England, where he was admitted to the painters' guild in London (the Painter Stainers Company) in 1676. In the period from 1689 to 1693, paintings by van Everbroeck were regularly offered at English auctions. This could mean that he was possibly still active in London at this time.
