Steven van der Meulen (born in Antwerp; died in London, c. 1563–64) was a Flemish artist active c. 1543-1564.〔(Steven van der Meulen ) at the Netherlands Institute for Art History 〕 He gained prominence in England in the first decade of the reign of Elizabeth I as one of many Flemish artists active at the Tudor court. He is best known for the "Barrington Park" portrait type of Elizabeth I and for three-quarter length portraits of members of the English court in the first half of the 1560s. A recently discovered will indicates that he died in London between October 1563 and January 1564. ==Life== Little is known about van der Meulen's personal life. His father was Rinnold (or Rumold) van der Meulen. He was probably born in Antwerp, where he studied under Willem van Cleve the Younger in 1543 and was admitted to the Guild of St Luke in 1552.〔Strong, ''English Icon'', p. 119〕〔''Grove Dictionary of Art''〕 He was in London by September 1560, is recorded as a member of the Dutch congregation there in June 1562, and was naturalized (denized) on 4 February 1562.〔〔Hearn, ''Dynasties'', p. 94〕 In 1561 the English merchant John Dymocke or Dymoch visited Sweden in connection with negotiations for a marriage between Elizabeth and Erik XIV, taking with him a Netherlandish painter (''holländsk Konterfegare''〔Hearn, Dynasties p. 93〕) described as 'Master Staffan' to paint the portrait of the King. It is generally accepted that this was van der Meulen.〔〔 In 1935, W. G. Constable identified this portrait with a full-length of Erik XIV at Gripsholm Castle, Mariefred, near Stockholm.〔Constable, "A New Work by 'The Famous Paynter Steven.'"〕 Scholar Elizabeth Drey has recently discovered van der Meulen's will, dated 5 October 1563 during an epidemic of the plague in London and proved on 20 January 1564.〔 His will indicates that his wife Gertrude Stubbeleeren (or Stubbeleren) and children Rinnold (or Rumold) and Eric were resident in London with him at the time of his death.〔
