About this person
Franciscus Gijsbrechts, also spelled Gysbrechts,, was a Flemish painter who specialised in vanitas still lifes and trompe-l'œil paintings. He worked in the second half of the seventeenth century in the Spanish Netherlands, Denmark and the Dutch Republic. Like his father, Cornelis Norbertus Gijsbrechts, he painted trompe-l'œil still lifes, a still life genre that uses illusionistic means to create the appearance that the painted, two-dimensional composition is actually a three-dimensional, real object.
