Flemish school ; portrait painter, pupil of Pieter do Grab- ber in Haarlem, but on coming ' to England with William of Orange, in 1643, he so closely studied the manner of Van Dyck, who had just died, that his earlier portraits often approach the great master's style. For thirty years he was the most popular por- trait painter in England, and amassed a large fortune ; nominated court-painter and knighted by Charles II. His portraits are of elegant conception, clear and warm col- ouring ; hands especially finely drawn. In his later period he degenerated ; his treat- ment grew superficial, his colouring cold and heavy, the female portraits mannered, with the languishing expression of the eyes affected by the ladies of the time. Works : Dukes of Albemarle and Buck- ingham ; Duchess of Cleveland, May Da- 57
