Frans van Mieris, the younger (November 24, 1689 – October 22, 1763) was a Dutch painter.
He was born in Leiden, the son of Willem van Mieris, and also followed the traditions of his grandfather, Frans's studio.
Willem bequeathed his painting-room to his son Frans. Neither Willem nor Frans the younger equalled Frans the elder in artistic reputation. Frans died in Leiden.
Famous quotes containing the words van and/or younger:
“Some have said that the thesis [of indeterminacy] is a consequence of my behaviorism. Some have said that it is a reductio ad absurdum of my behaviorism. I disagree with this second point, but I agree with the first. I hold further that the behaviorism approach is mandatory. In psychology one may or may not be a behaviorist, but in linguistics one has no choice.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
““Let me not live,” quoth he,
“After my flame lacks oil, to be the snuff
Of younger spirits, whose apprehensive senses
All but new things disdain.””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
