Adam-François Van der Meulen 1632/1690:

baptized January 11, 1632 in Brussels and died October 15, 1690 in Paris, was a Flemish Baroque painter of Brussels origin.

In 1646, he studied in Brussels with Peeter Snayers, then joined the Antwerp school, before entering the service of the Spanish archdukes. Mastering the art of depicting horses and landscapes, his renown crossed borders and in 1662, he was called to Paris by Charles Le Brun, first painter to King Louis XIV and director of the Manufacture des Gobelins.

Specializing in battle and hunting paintings, in 1665 he joined the team responsible for immortalizing the king's image and was pensioned from 1667. He accompanied Louis XIV on all his travels, to all his residences, and in all his wars. He also produced numerous cartoons for the Gobelins manufactory.
