Francia, Jacopo

Giacomo Raibolini (1484 – 3 January 1557), also called Giacomo Francia or Jacopo Francia, was an Italian painter and engraver of the Renaissance period. Francia was born in Bologna as elder son of Francesco Raibolini (Francesco Francia), and like his father was also called il Francia. His father and brother Giulio Raibolini were also artists. Francia was trained by his father in painting and goldsmithing, and acted as his assistant. In 1517, the year of his father's death, he and his brother, Giulio, assumed responsibility for the family business and together executed many church altarpieces, identifiable by the initials (I I) of their Latinized names (Iacobus and Iulius). Late in life Giacomo came under the influence of Dosso Dossi. He died in Bologna in 1567. Giacomo's earliest known work is the Virgin in Glory with Saints Peter, Mary Magdalene, Francis, Martha and Six Nuns (after 1515; Pinacoteca Nazionale, Bologna, ). In this painting, as in the Saints Jerome, Margaret and Francis (1518; Madrid, Prado) and the Nativity (1519; San Giovanni Evangelista, Parma), both dated and signed by both brothers, there appear, in addition to the influence of their father, echoes of the monumental...

Francis Alÿs

Francis Alÿs (born 22 August 1959, Antwerp ) is a Belgian-born, Mexico-based artist. He works across art, architecture, and social practice. In 1986, Alÿs left behind his profession as an architect and relocated to Mexico City, where he lives and works. He has created artwork and performance art that explore urban tensions and geopolitics. Employing a range of media, from painting to performance, his works examine the tension between politics and poetics, individual action and impotence. Alÿs carries out paseos — walks that resist the subjection of common space. Cyclical repetition and mechanics of progression and regression also inform the character of Alÿs' actions and mythology — Alÿs contrasts geological and technological time through land-based and social practice that examine individual memory and collective mythology. Alÿs frequently uses rumor as a central tool in his practice, disseminating ephemeral, practice-based works through word-of-mouth and storytelling. He has documented children's games for decades.

Francis Arthur Fraser

Francis Bacon

Three Studies for a Self-Portrait is an oil-on-canvas triptych painting by the Irish-born English artist Francis Bacon. Two of the paintings are signed and dated 1979, and the third is signed and dated 1979–1980. The triptych is usually viewed by art historians as penetrating self-examinations in the aftermath of the suicide of his lover George Dyer; one of a series of inward-looking self-portraits completed during the 1970s. Bacon was seventy at the time, but depicts himself as much younger.
