Frans Verbeeck

Frans Verbeeck or Frans Verbeeck the Elder (c. 1510 – 24 July 1570, Mechelen) was a Flemish painter and draughtsman to whom have been attributed a number of genre paintings with a moralizing intent. As he was a member of an important family of artists operating a large workshop with various branches in Mechelen and it is not always possible to attribute a particular artwork to one or the other family member, it has been suggested that the works should in fact be attributed to the 'Verbeeck group'.
