Michiel Jansz, a renowned Dutch painter from the 17th century, left an indelible mark on the art world with his exquisite portraits. One of his notable works is "Portrait of a Lady" painted in 1615, showcasing his mastery of oil on panel technique. Another testament to his talent is the engraving he created of Prince Maurits of Orange in 1608. Intriguingly, Michiel Jansz's artistic prowess extended beyond just capturing nobility. His "Portrait of a Woman with a Lace Collar, " dating back to around 1632-35, demonstrates his ability to depict elegance and grace through delicate brushstrokes. It seems that Michiel Jansz had an affinity for portraying influential figures as well. He immortalized Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton in the early-mid 19th century and Sr. Dudley Carleton, Viscount Dorchester in 1807 - both men holding significant positions during their time. Not limited to Dutch subjects alone, it also depicted international figures like Count Axel Oxenstierna and Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange. These paintings highlight his versatility as an artist who could capture the essence and character traits unique to each individual. Furthermore, Jan Muller skillfully recreated two other historical personalities: Ambrogio Spinola - a Genoese soldier serving Spain - and Nathaniel Fiennes - an English politician from the 17th century. Their portraits pay homage not only to these individuals but also showcase Muller's ability to emulate Michiel Jansz's style faithfully. Lastly, Gustavus Adolphus – King of Sweden during the 17th century – was immortalized by an unknown artist around c1880 using techniques reminiscent of Michiel Jansz's work.
