'''Frans Rijckhals''', or '''François Ryckhals''' (3 May 1609, [[Middelburg]] - 29 July 1647, Middelburg) was a Dutch painter and designer. His works combine [[Genre art|genre]] scenes with [[still-life]]s.

==Biography==
He was probably a pupil of [[Pieter de Bloot]]. After working in his hometown, he went to [[Dordrecht]] from 1633 to 1634. He returned to Middelburg in 1638 and lived there until his death.<ref name=rkd>[https://ift.tt/2OzSHxQ] [[Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie]]</ref>. In 1640, he and [[David Teniers the Younger]] worked together on a painting in [[Antwerp]]<ref name=raupp>[https://ift.tt/2FNrTrk ''Stilleben und Tierstücke''] by Hans-Joachim Raupp, Lit Verlag (2014) ISBN 3-8258-2239-7 @ [[Google Books]]</ref>.

In 1642, he married the [[Burgomaster]]s daughter and moved into their home, which is now a museum dedicated to him.<ref name=raupp/>.

He was primarily known for his paintings of rural life, but also produced Italian-style landscapes and religious works. At the beginning of his career, he also painted animals.<ref name="raupp" /> A large number of his works in Berlin, Saint Petersburg and Budapest were destroyed during World War II.<ref name=rkd/>. Only twenty of his works are known to exist. These may seen at (among others) the , the [[National Museum, Warsaw]] and the [[Musée Fabre]] in [[Montpellier]].

He was a follower of [[Willem Buytewech]] and [[Aelbert Cuyp]] and was influenced by [[Adriaen van de Venne]]. In turn, he influenced [[Philips Angel I]]<ref name=rkd/>. Some of his still-lifes were attributed to [[Frans Hals the Younger]], due to a mistaken interpretation of his convoluted [[monogram]]. In fact, no works by Hals have been identified with any certainty.

Among his pupils were Laurens Bernards (c.1630-1676)<ref name=rkd/> and, possibly, [[Willem Kalf]].<ref name="raupp" />
