When this portrait and its pendant of a woman (SK-A-747; also fig. a) first came up for auction in 1872 the identity of the couple was unknown. After the pictures entered the Rijksmuseum in 1882 Obreen was able to identify the male sitter as Johan van Beaumont from the coat of arms present on the frame at the time,6 which was evidently replaced at a later date. He was the son of Simon Herbertsz van Beaumont and Arnoudina van Rosenburg, his father being a famous lawyer and poet who was appointed Pensionary of Middelburg in 1606, and that is probably also the city where Johan was born in 1609.7 He was a first cousin of Arnoudina van Beaumont, the second wife of Govert van Slingelandt, who had his former family painted by Jan Mijtens in 1657.8 Johan van Beaumont chose a military career, and one of his postings was as colonel of a guards regiment in the service of the province of Holland.9 In 1637 he married the seven years younger Maria de Witte in The Hague, who was the daughter of François de Witte, Deputy Clerk of the Law Court of Holland.10 She bore him 12 children, 5 boys and 7 girls, 4 of whom would die at an early age. In 1660 Van Beaumont bought a house, one of the biggest, on the south side of Westeinde in The Hague, the street where Mijtens lived. He was a very wealthy man whose taxable income was assessed at 125,000 guilders in 1674.11 He died in Breda on 9 August 1695 and was buried there. His wife had already preceded him in The Hague in 1670. Van Beaumont dons his armour and on the table beside him is his plumed helmet. The sword at his left side and the commander’s baton in his right hand proclaim his military status. Behind him is a large body of water with a church and its massive tower in the distance. This is probably a view across the Brielse Maas towards the fortified town of Brielle with its distinctive Sint-Catharijnekerk, of which Van Beaumont was the commandant.12 Although balustrades had been a popular motif in Dutch portraits since the 1630s, and were still often found in the 1660s,13 this is the only time that Mijtens employed the device. His decision to use it would have been due to the need to depict a broad stretch of water. The balustrade does not continue over into the pendant of Maria de Witte, who is shown with a French landscape garden in the left background. The two paintings were sold in 1872 at the auction of Ilpenstein Castle near Ilpendam, just north of Amsterdam. The property had passed down by descent in the De Graeff family since the 1630s, but no connection with the Van Beaumonts has been discovered. The portraits probably came to the estate through a purchase in the nineteenth century. Richard Harmanni, 2023 See Key to abbreviations, Rijksmuseum painting catalogues and Acknowledgements

Johannes Mytens: A Master of Dutch Portraiture

Johannes Mytens (c. 1614 – 1670) stands as a prominent figure within the illustrious Dutch Golden Age, celebrated primarily for his exquisite portrait paintings that captured the essence of aristocratic families and individuals alike. Born in The Hague, he emerged from a lineage steeped in artistic tradition—his uncles Isaac Mijtens and Daniël Mijtens were also painters, fostering an environment ripe for creative development. This familial connection profoundly shaped Mytens’ artistic trajectory, influencing his training under luminaries like Anthony van Opstal and Nicolas van der Horst, establishing him firmly within the established artistic circles of his time.

Early Training & Influences: Van Opstal's meticulous realism and van der Horst’s masterful use of light undoubtedly instilled in Mytens a foundational understanding of technique—a hallmark that would characterize his subsequent oeuvre.
Guild Membership & Artistic Community: Joining the Hague Guild of Saint Luke in 1642 marked a pivotal moment, solidifying his professional standing and aligning him with fellow artists who championed artistic excellence and innovation. Notably, he spearheaded the formation of the confrerie pictura, demonstrating his commitment to fostering collaborative creativity within the artistic landscape.

Mytens’ artistic output spanned diverse genres, ranging from stately portraits showcasing the grandeur of Dutch royalty to intimate genre scenes depicting everyday life—often imbued with subtle symbolic representations reflecting prevailing social and moral values. His unparalleled skill in rendering clothing – particularly the opulent attire of affluent Dutch citizens – distinguishes him as a uniquely perceptive artist who meticulously documented the visual culture of his era. Scholarly research confirms that Mytens nurtured numerous talented students, including Nicolaes Lissant, Gerard de Nijst, Adriaen Stalpert van der Wiele, Pouwels van de Velde, Andries Thijsz. De Wit, and Urbanus Talibert van Yperen—a testament to his enduring legacy as a pedagogue and mentor.

Notable Works & Artistic Style

Mytens’ artistic style is characterized by a harmonious blend of realism and idealism, reflecting the Baroque aesthetic prevalent during his lifetime. He skillfully employed chiaroscuro – dramatic contrasts between light and shadow – to sculpt figures with remarkable depth and dimensionality, conveying emotion and psychological nuance. His compositions are meticulously balanced, prioritizing clarity and elegance while simultaneously incorporating symbolic elements that enrich the narrative content. Consider particularly ‘The van der Graeff Family,’ where he deftly portrays a wealthy English family against a richly textured backdrop—a masterpiece demonstrating his mastery of color palettes and spatial arrangement. Similarly, his depiction of Frederick Henry’s daughters exemplifies Baroque grace and sophistication.

‘The van der Graeff Family’: This monumental portrait showcases Mytens' ability to capture familial bonds and convey aristocratic status with breathtaking precision.
Portrait of James, 4th Lord Cranstoun: A captivating depiction of Scottish nobility, demonstrating Mytens’ talent for portraying character and conveying emotion through nuanced facial expressions.

Legacy & Historical Significance

Johannes Mytens' contribution to Dutch art history extends beyond his individual paintings; he served as a crucial catalyst in shaping the artistic sensibilities of subsequent generations. His influence can be discerned in the works of his students, who carried forward his stylistic innovations and upheld his commitment to artistic integrity. Furthermore, Mytens’ meticulous documentation of social life—particularly through genre scenes—provides invaluable insights into the cultural milieu of 17th-century Holland. As a symbol of Dutch artistic excellence during its golden age, Mytens continues to inspire admiration and scholarly investigation today, securing his place as one of the most revered portrait painters of his era.
