Frans Vervloet (Mechelen, January 20, 1795 – Venice, 1872) was a Belgian painter, remembered mainly as a landscape artist.

Biography
His father, Frans Vervloet I, was also a painter, professor at the Mechelen Academy; it was he who taught his children the rudiments of art. In 1822 the young man made a journey to Italy, residing mainly in Rome but also visiting Campania. From 1824 onward, he settled in Naples, where he pursued his activity. In 1832 he traveled to Venice, remaining captivated; Venice and Naples would remain throughout his life the cities he loved most. He traveled a great deal and depicted in his works, in addition to Venice and Naples, Palermo, Livorno, Constantinople, Gaeta, and several areas of Apulia. In 1861 he settled permanently in Venice where he died at the age of 77.

Works
Vervloet was mainly a landscape painter, but he often depicted, in addition to views, sacristies, interiors of churches, monuments. His style, recognizable from his youth, places atmospheric perspective at the center of the painting, rendering it soft through the rendering of a delicate chromatic range, and it had a notable influence on the developments of the Posillipo School.
