Description: | Charles I is depicted in his Garter robes, wearing a black beaver hat decorated with ostrich feathers. The portrait is after a much-copied full-length of the king by Daniel Mytens the Elder (private collection). Mytens (about 1590 - before 1648), a Dutch artist from the Hague, was made an official 'picture-drawer' to the king, soon after Charles I's accession in 1625. The arrival of Van Dyck in England in 1632, with his innovative and fluid style, saw the decline in Mytens' popularity. | Subjects: | portrait (King Charles I) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Mytens, Daniel, I (Dutch painter, ca.1590-before 1648) Æ After Previously attributed to after Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8614... | Go to resource |
