Adam-François Van der Meulen (1632-1690),
baptized on January 11, 1632 in Brussels and died on October 15, 1690 in Paris, was a Flemish Baroque painter of Brussels origin. In 1646, he was a pupil of Peeter Snayers in Brussels, then joined the Antwerp school, before entering the service of the Spanish archdukes.
Mastering the art of depicting horses and landscapes, his renown spread far and wide, and in 1662 he was summoned to Paris by Charles Le Brun, First Painter to King Louis XIV and Director of the Gobelins Manufactory.
Specializing in battle and hunting scenes, he joined the team tasked with immortalizing the king's image in 1665 and received a pension in 1667.
He accompanied Louis XIV on all his travels, to all his residences, and in all his wars.
He also created numerous cartoons for the Gobelins Manufactory.
