Description: | Charles I sat to the Dutch painter Daniel Mytens many times and this portrait is after a full-length of the king painted by him in 1633, in which he is wearing his Order of the Garter robes (private collection). This depiction of the king reveals contemporary court fashions, such as his large, lace-edged collar and his loose hair worn longer on one side. Daniel Mytens the Elder (about 1590-before 1648) came to England from The Hague by 1618. In 1625 Charles I appointed him a 'picture-drawer' and he remained in favour until the arrival of Van Dyck in 1632, which saw him being overshadowed by the younger artist. He returned to The Hague where he became an art dealer. | Subjects: | portrait (Charles I) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mytens, Daniel, I (Dutch painter, ca.1590-before 1648) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8580... | Go to resource |
