Herman van der Mijn, a Dutch portraitist who worked in England with his older son Frans.
Herman van der Mijn was a pupil of Ernst Stuven (1660?1712), and lived in Amsterdam, then in Antwerp (1712?13) and finally in Düsseldorf, where he worked for the Elector Palatine, until the Prince died in 1716. He then returnbed to Antwerp, before working in Paris, where he gained the patronage of he Duke d?Orleans until invited to London in 1721. He was favoured by the Earl of Exeter, Lord Cadogan and Sir Gregory Page, and established a prosperous practice, particularly in the execution of small portraits. Despite gaining the patronage of Queen Caroline in 1727, his extravagant lifestyle and large family ?several of whom, George, Gerard and Robert became painters in succession to their father- ultimately became resulted in great debts. This association was severed temporarily when one of his paintings was refused in 1727/8 but, happily for the artist?s stricken finances, restored upon the arrival of Prince William IV of Orange Nassau. He went with the Prince and Princess to the Netherlands, and he was working at the palace of Het Loo in 1736. Apparently he soon fell out of favour with his patron and returned to London, where he died.
