Description: | The painting was originally thought to be by Frederigo Zuccaro, an Italian artist known to have painted court portraits in England, but this painting is now thought to be by an unknown Flemish artist working in the manner of Geeraerts. Marcus Geeraerts the Younger was the son of an animal painter at Bruges. He came to England soon after 1580, but his earliest known works date from 1592. Later in his career Gheeraerts was appointed painter to Queen Elizabeth and Queen Anne of Denmark. He is particularly remembered for his portraits and paintings of Royal State occasions. He remained in England until his death in 1635. His paintings were much imitated and copied throughout the seventeenth century. | Subjects: | portrait (female) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Geeraerts, Marcus, the younger (Flemish painter, 1561-1635, active in England) Æ Attributed to manner of Previously attributed to Zuccaro, Federico (Italian painter and draftsman, ca. 1541-1609) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8369... | Go to resource |
