Footnotes

Provenance
Private collection, Italy.

Frans Vervloet was born in Mechelen in 1809 where he studied at the Akademie voor Schone Kunsten. Additional tuition was provided by his brother Jan J. Vervloet (1790–1869), his early career focused on church interiors and architectural painting for which he gained a good reputation. This resulted in a scholarship to study in Italy and being greatly inspired by the architecture he would spend most of the remainder of his career in the country. After studying in Rome Vervloet travelled to Naples and was heavily influenced by the Posillippo School of painters and would himself become a celebrated vedute artist. Although eventually settling in Venice, Vervloet travelled to Constantinople and in the present lot we see the culmination of many years of architectural painting and his time in Naples in the faithful representation of the Fatih Mosque and its environs.
