Martin van Meytens
Martin van Meytens is a Baroque artist. 7 works are cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.
Martin van Meytens painted grand portraits in the early 1700s, showing Swedish kings, Roman legends, and silk-clad nobles. He left behind images like *Fredrik I, regele Suediei* and *Estera și Ahasver* (1730), where lace collars catch candlelight and faces look straight at you. His brush kept company with wigs and silver trays, turning sitters into timeless figures. Tap *Pictorul Gottfried Auerbach* to meet the man who painted him.
