He painted mainly genre pieces and landscapes with cows, sheep and poultry, he is counted among the followers of the Belgian cattle painter Eugène Joseph Verboeckhoven who came to live in Brussels in 1827 and achieved great success at the Salon with his paintings with cattle. Throughout the 19th century, the painting of livestock was a very popular genre. The Belgian painter Franz van Severdonck was born in Brussels, where he lived and worked all his life. It is not yet known, where the artist was trained, but his high compositional and technical skills allow the assumption of a professional training. Franz van Severdonck was a master of animals and created numerous compositions with sheep, horses and chickens. His usually small-sized depictions are highly sought after collectable items on the international art market.
