Frans van Stampart[1] (born in Antwerp 12 June 1675 – died 3 April 1750 in Vienna) was a Flemish portrait painter, printmaker and publisher. The artist established a reputation as a portraitist of European rulers, aristocrats and higher clergy. He had an international career, which brought him to the court in Vienna where he worked as court painter of the Imperial court.[2] He is also known as the co-publisher of two publications which depict the Imperial art collection in Vienna and for which he also made some of the engravings.[3]
