Frans Snyders (1579 - 1657) was a Flemish painter of animals and still life. Snyders initially devoted himself to painting flowers, fruit and subjects of still life, but later turned to painting animals.
His composition is rich and varied, his drawing correct and vigorous, his touch bold and thoroughly expressive of the different textures of furs and skins. His excellence in this department excited the admiration of Rubens, who frequently employed him to paint animals, fruit and still life in his own pictures.
