Description: | Catherine of Braganza was daughter of John, Duke of Braganza, afterwards John IV, King of Portugal. She married Charles II in 1662. Huysmans was a Flemish painter who moved to England before the Restoration. As a Catholic, he received the enthusiastic patronage of the Catholic Queen Catherine. He painted her as St. Catherine starting a fashion amongst ladies to be depicted in this guise. The costume style suggests a date in the 1660s. | Subjects: | portrait (Catherine of Braganza) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Huysmans, Jacob (Flemish, ca.1633-1696) Æ Attributed to studio of Previously attributed to circle of Jaspers, Jan Baptist (Flemish artist, ca.1620-1691) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8575... | Go to resource |
