Frans Floris de Vriendt - Flemish painter ( 1517 - Antwerp 1570g). Member of the Guild of St. Luke in Antwerp. The mythological scene "Cup of Ceres". Frans Floris de Vriendt. A triangular composition of two women and a faun unfolding towards them is complemented by a cupid and a servant with fruits.
