MOR VAN DASHORST, Anthonis
Sir Thomas Gresham
1565-70 Oil on panel, 90 x 75,5 cm Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam From 1552 to 1567, the English merchant Thomas Gresham (1519-1579) lived and worked in Antwerp as financial agent of the English crown (`King's merchant'). This prominent social position explains why he had his portrait painted by Mor, who was court artist to Philip II. This Utrecht-born painter was noted for the accurate recording of detail in his portraits. He depicted Gresham as a strong, somewhat reserved personality. Mor also painted a portrait of Gresham's wife, which is likewise in the Rijksmuseum. Author: MOR VAN DASHORST, Anthonis Title: Sir Thomas Gresham , 1551-1600 , Flemish Form: painting , portrait
