Description: | James I is wearing the badge of the order of the Knight of the Garter. Paul van Somer was born in Antwerp and worked in Holland before coming to England in 1616. From 1617 he was in royal employment and payments to him for royal portraits are recorded up to the time of his death in 1622. This painting probably derives from Van Somer's prime version in the Royal Collection dated 1618. | Subjects: | portrait (King James I and VI) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Somer, Paulus van, I (Flemish painter and printmaker, 1576-1621) Æ After Previously attributed to Janssens van Ceulen, Cornelis (English painter, 1593-1661) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8575... | Go to resource |
