František Jiránek (24 July 1698 – 1778) was a Czech (Bohemian) Baroque composer, musician and very likely a student of Antonio Vivaldi.
Jiránek was born on 24 July 1698 in Lomnice nad Popelkou (Northern Bohemia, present-day Czech Republic).
After the death of Václav Morzin in 1737 Jiránek left Prague and was employed by the Prime Minister of Saxony, Heinrich von Brühl in Dresden.
His work was strongly influenced by Vivaldi's musical style, although it has also many original distinctive elements.
[1] In fact their styles are so similar that Jiránek's works have occasionally been misattributed to Vivaldi.
