"Altes Burgtheater" is an oil painting by the German artist Franz Friedrich Franck, also known as Franz Francken the Younger (1607–1667), who was a member of the famous Francken family of artists from Antwerp. The painting, dated to the 17th century, depicts the interior of the Burgtheater, one of the most important German-speaking theatres during the time and a central institution for performing arts in Vienna, Austria.

The artwork captures the grandeur and cultural significance of the Burgtheater, which was originally known as K.K. Theater an der Burg and later as K.K. Hofburgtheater. Established in 1741 and situated in the Hofburg Palace, the theater became a hallmark of Viennese cultural life. Franck's painting is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the architectural and social aspects of the period's theater culture. It showcases the ornate design of the theater's interior, the audience in period attire, and a performance in progress, thus offering a glimpse into the theatrical practices and audience engagement of the era.

Franck's attention to detail in the portrayal of the theater's opulent interior, the lighting, and the figures' expressions reflects the Baroque style's influence on his work. The painting not only serves as a work of art but also as an important cultural artifact, reflecting the societal norms and entertainment practices of the 17th-century Viennese aristocracy.

"Altes Burgtheater" is significant for its artistic merit and for its documentation of the history of European theater. It remains an important work for scholars studying the history of performing arts, Baroque art, and the cultural life of Vienna. The painting is also of interest to those who appreciate the legacy of the Francken artistic dynasty and their contribution to the Flemish painting tradition.
