Daniel Mytens the Elder was a Dutch Golden Age portrait painter who spent the central decades of his career in England, where he became a leading court painter. Born in the Dutch Republic in 1590, he came from a family of Flemish painters and established himself as a portraitist of aristocratic and royal sitters. His work bridges the formal conventions of Northern European portraiture with the emerging sophistication of Stuart court painting.
