Early life and education

Mor was born in Utrecht, Netherlands. Utrecht ( city and municipality is the capital and most populous city of the Dutch province of Utrecht. The Netherlands ( Dutch:, ˈnedərlɑnt is the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which consists of the Netherlands the Netherlands What is known of his early life is that his artistic education commenced under Jan van Scorel. Jan van Scorel (1495 Schoorl - December 6, 1562, Utrecht) was an influential Dutch painter credited with the introduction of His earliest work is probably a portrait at Stockholm, dated 1538. ('stɔkhɔlm is Sweden 's Capital and its largest City. It is the site of the national Swedish government, the parliament, and the

Painting career

It is said that the group of Knights of St. John, at Utrecht, supposed to have been painted about 1541, and a picture of two pilgrims at Berlin, dated 1544, together with the portrait of a woman unknown, in the Lille gallery, were probably among his earliest works, although their authenticity has not been proved. The Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta (known as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta ( SMOM) Order of Malta Lille (lil Rijsel is a city in northern France. It is the principal city of the Lille Métropole, the fourth-largest Metropolitan area in the country

Patronage

In 1547, he was received as a member of the Venerable Guild of St. Luke at Antwerp, and shortly afterwards (about 1548) he attracted the attention of Cardinal Granvelle, Bishop of Arras, who became his steady patron, and presented him to the Emperor Charles V. The Guild of Saint Luke was the most common name for a city Guild for painters and other artists in Early modern Europe, especially in the Low Countries Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle ( August 20 1517 - September 21 1586) was a French statesman made a cardinal, who followed Charles V (24 February 1500 &ndash 21 September 1558 was

Don Fernando Álvarez de Toledo y Pimentel 3rd Duke of Alba (Don Fernando Álvarez de Toledo y Pimentel tercer duque de Alba ( October 29,

He probably visited Italy first in 1550, for we hear of him in Rome, where he copied some works by Titian, notably the Danaë. Italy (Italia officially the Italian Republic, (Repubblica Italiana is located on the Italian Peninsula in Southern Europe, and on the two largest Tiziano Vecelli or Tiziano Vecellio (c 1485 &ndash August 27 1576 better known as Titian, was the leading painter of the 16th-century Venetian

Visit to Portugal

He was sent by Queen Mary of Hungary to Portugal, doubtless his first visit to that country, and among its notable results are a portrait of the Infanta Maria and one of Queen Catherine of Portugal, both in the Prado, and those of King John III and his wife Catherine, preserved in Madrid. John III ( Portuguese: João III ʒuˈɐ̃ũ ( June 7, 1502 &ndash June 11, 1557) nicknamed o Piedoso After this he returned to Madrid, where he painted the portrait of Maximilian of Bohemia; he was in Rome again in 1552.

It has been seriously suggested, but on insufficient evidence, that one of the masterpieces of the Prado gallery, the portrait of the unknown young Cardinal, hitherto attributed to Rafael, and regarded as one of his noblest works, should be credited to Mor. The Museo del Prado is a Museum and Art gallery located in Madrid, the capital of Spain. From Rome, he went to Genoa, and thence again to Madrid. Madrid (pronounced in English in Spanish and colloquially in Spain) is the Capital and largest city of Spain. In 1553 he was sent to England, where he painted the portrait of Queen Mary I, perhaps one of his very noblest works; and in all probability the portraits of Sir Henry Sidney, and of Ambassador Simon Renard. England is a Country which is part of the United Kingdom. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total UK population whilst its mainland Mary I (18 February 1516 &ndash 17 November 1558 was Queen of England and Queen of Ireland from 19 July 1553 until her death Sir Henry Sidney ( 1529 - 5 May 1586) lord deputy of Ireland, was the eldest son of Sir William Sidney of Penshurst a prominent politician That of Renard's wife was not painted until three years later. To this period should be attributed the miniature of Mary Tudor in the Duke of Buccleuch's collection, two portraits of Elizabeth at the age of twenty-one, one of which once belonged to Propert, and another even more notable, of Roger Ascham, now in the collection of Pierpont Morgan.

Later work

At about this time Mor married, but we know little of his wife, save that her name was Metgen, and she is supposed to have been a widow. He became a man of great means, acquired property, and was known as Moro van Dashorst when residing in Utrecht.

At the end of 1554, he was back in Holland, where he painted a portrait of Prince William I of Orange (William the Silent), and other notable works. William I Prince of Orange ( April 24 1533 — July 10 1584) also widely known as William the Silent (Willem de Zwijger or simply A little later he executed his own portrait, now in the Uffizi Gallery, one of his wife, now in the Prado (see image gallery below), a portrait of a knight of St. The Uffizi Gallery (Galleria degli Uffizi one of the oldest and most famous Art Museums in the world is housed in the Palazzo degli Uffizi, a James at Budapest, one of Alexander Farnese at Parma, the portrait of an unknown man in Verona, and a very extraordinary religious picture of the Resurrection, now at Nijmegen in a private collection.

Several very important works, executed towards the close his life, include: Elizabeth Queen of Spain, in the Bischoffs-heim collection (London), Jacopo da Trezzo and three other fine portraits, in the Stuers gallery (Paris), and the famous portrait of his own master, Jan van Scorel, belonging to the Society of Antiquaries (London).

The last document that refers to him was one issued at Antwerp, in 1573. He probably died there shortly afterwards.


Anthology of major works

Many of Mor's portaits were copied by others. Among those whose works have been confused with Mor's are Alonso Sánchez Coello, Francisco de Holanda, and Cristóvão de Morais Lopes. Alonso Sánchez Coello (born 1531/32 Benifairó de les Valls, near Valencia; died August 8, 1588, Madrid) was a Portrait For the Spanish-born painter of similar name see Cristobal López (16th century. A large number of engravings based on his work also circulated. Engraving is the practice of incising a design onto a hard usually flat surface by cutting grooves into it
