Martin Meytens cel Tânăr

Martin Meytens the Younger painted formal portraits of European nobles in the early 18th century. He captured the aristocracy in polished oil paintings and prints, like the 1728 portrait of Victor Amadeus II, King of Savoy, and its matching pair of his queen. His brush shows powdered wigs, rich fabrics, and the stiff poses expected by the courts he served. Tap into the regal world of Savoy with his 1728 print of the king, or step into his own self-portrait to meet the man behind the brush.
