Frans Decker

Frans Decker (1684 – 1751) was an 18th-century painter from the Dutch Republic.

He was a painter whose pictures possess great merit, and are to be met with in almost every collection.

[1] He is stated to have been born at Haarlem in 1684, and to have died at the same place in 1751, having been a pupil of Romeyn De Hooghe and of Bartholomeus Engels.

[1][2] He painted landscapes in a very pleasing and natural style, resembling the charming productions of Ruisdael, but without the servility of an imitator.

[1] He was a member of the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke from 1706 until his death.
