Daniël Mijtens (Delft, c. 1590 – The Hague, 1647/48), known in England as Daniel Mytens the Elder, was a Dutch portrait painter who spent the central years of his career working in England. He was born in Delft into a family of artists and trained in The Hague, possibly in the studio of Van Mierevelt. No known work survives from his first Dutch period.[1]
By 1618, he had moved to London where his initial patron was the leading art collector Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel. Mijtens painted the Earl and his Countess, and was soon commissioned to paint King James I and his son Charles, Prince of Wales. In 1625 he became painter to Charles I.
After the prince's accession to the throne as Charles I in 1625 Mijtens produced such a large number of full length portraits of Charles I and his courtiers, including duplicates, that it is assumed that he had workshop assistance. Two of his finest portraits are of the same man, James Hamilton later 1st Duke of Hamilton, whom he painted as a seventeen year old in 1623 and again in 1629. Mijtens made visits to the Netherlands in 1626 and 1630, perhaps to study the latest developments in his field, more particularly the works of Rubens and Van Dyck.
Mijtens introduced a new naturalism into the English court portrait, but after the arrival in England of the far more distinguished Anthony Van Dyck in 1632 he was superseded as the leading court portraitist, and around 1634 he appears to have returned to the Netherlands permanently. He subsequently worked primarily as an art dealer in The Hague, acquiring works for the Earl of Arundel among others. Only four paintings survive from this final period.
Some of Mijtens' works are still owned by the Royal Family.

"Daniel Mynheer Cajanus (1704 – 27 February 1749) was a Finnish giant (2.34 m.). He made his living by exhibiting himself for money; he appeared in many European countries and attracted the interest of scientists and laypeople, including royalty. After his death, portions of his skeleton found their way into museums, where some parts still remain." (Wikipedia)

Here's another portrait of Daniel from Christmas 2012. Daniel died this week at the age of 33. He was born with a boatload of developmental disabilities and spent most of life in group homes, but found a way to become an eccentric, complex, mischievous and charming character.
Another friend of mine who died young used to sign off by saying "Do Epic Shit!", and often when I confront deaths like this one I ask myself: Did Daniel do epic shit? Yes, Daniel did epic shit. Some of his escapades while eloping from his group home will remain the stuff of local legend for many years to come.
While he doesn't have the sort of face social media is likely to linger upon, I encourage you to take a closer look here. To my eyes, this image does EVERYTHING a great portrait should do and I find it extremely moving.
