Franciscus Carree or Carré was a painter born in Friesland about 1630. It is not known who was his instructor, but he grew to be sufficiently esteemed to be appointed first painter to the Stadtholder William Frederick. He excelled in painting landscapes and village festivals, but his works are little known out of his own country. He left an etching of the funeral catafalque of the Stadtholder. He died at Amsterdam in 1669.
