William Laud (1573–1645), Archbishop of Canterbury (1633–1645) 1631
Daniel Mytens (c.1590–1647)
Milntown Trust(b Delft, c.1590; d The Hague, 1647). Anglo-Dutch portrait painter. He was trained in The Hague (probably under Miereveld), but almost all of his known career was spent in England, where he is first recorded in 1618 working for the Earl of Arundel. By 1620 he was employed by James I and in 1625 he was appointed ‘one of our picture drawers’ by Charles I. Mytens introduced a new elegance and grandeur into English portraiture, especially in his full-lengths, and he was the dominant painter at court until the arrival of van Dyck in 1632.
