Biography
editKarel van Mander III was born inDelft. According to Houbraken, who confused him with his fatherKarel van Mander the Younger, he learned to paint from his father and became a good portrait painter.[1] His portrait ofChristian IV was honored with a poem byJoost van den Vondel.[1][2] His portrait of Vondel with gray hair in the same year was also rewarded with a Vondel poem.[1][3]
According to the RKD he was a pupil of his father and was influenced byFrans Hals. He worked in Copenhagen in 1631, and travelled to Italy from 1635-1638.[4] When he returned North he settled in Copenhagen in the company ofAbraham Wuchters. He is registered in Amsterdam in 1657 (probably due to the painting mentioned by Vondel).[4] but died inCopenhagen.
