About the artist
In 1590, Gheeraerts married with Magdalena, sister of fellow painter John De Critz. They raised six children together, albeit only two appeared to have survived.
Gheeraerts gained prominence as the most distinguished and trending portraitist of the 1590s, a reputation he maintained even after Elizabeth's death. He became the preferred painter of James I's queen, Anne of Denmark. Gheeraerts breathed his last on 19th January 1636.
