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

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 undertook a journey to Italy, residing mainly in Rome but also visiting Campania. From 1824, he settled in Naples, where he would pursue his activity. In 1832 he went to Venice, remaining fascinated by it; Venice and Naples would remain throughout his life the cities he loved most. He traveled a lot and depicted in his works, besides Venice and Naples, Palermo, Livorno, Constantinople, Gaeta, and various areas of Apulia. In 1861 he settled permanently in Venice where he would die at the age of 77.

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