Anyways, Frants was born on May, 20th , 1820, and grew up in Bergen, Norway. Frants mostly drew landscapes and still life paintings.  Frants moved to Copenhagen to pursue his painting career. After training with other artists, he moved to Paris to train with another artist, then his vision got impaired by eye disease. So he moved back to Norway. He married, and lived the rest of his life in Norway. Frants was sitting on a bench in Nygårdsparken, where he suffered a stroke. The policemen who found him however, "misunderstood the situation" and put him in jail. They found out that he was innocent, but it was too late. Frants died in 1891.
