context_page_description: Frans Geerts or Augustinus Franciscus Maria Geerts was a Belgian painter.
context_section_description: Frans Geerts’ work is very diverse. He painted realistic and romantic portraits, pastoral and religious scenes, still lifes with flowers and landscapes. He predominantly made oil paintings, but also watercolors and ink drawings. 
  Apart from original paintings, his works include numerous creative adaptations of well-known artists' works, such as Adriaen Brouwer, Václav Brožík, Henri De Braekeleer and David Teniers II. Geerts also painted a detailed copy of Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s The Peasant Dance.
  Geerts was no avant-garde artist and never played a prominent role in Antwerp's artistic scene. Nevertheless, he seems to have had a certain commercial success. His works are held in private collections and regularly appear at auctions in Belgium and abroad.
