Who was Willem van Mieris?
Willem van Mieris was a Dutch painter.
He was born in Leiden, a son of Frans van Mieris sr. and brother of Jan van Mieris. He opened an art academy in 1649 but it closed in 1736 because he was partially blind. He died, aged 84, in Leiden.
His works are extremely numerous, being partly imitations of the paternal subjects, or mythological episodes, which Frans habitually avoided. As an artist, he did not equal his father.
van Mieris has works in the Victoria and Albert Museum as well as Cheltenham and Derby Museum and Art Gallery.
