Anton Perrenot de Granvelle
1549, Artist: Anthonis Mor van Dashorst
Anton Perrenot de Granvelle
Granvelle (1517–1586), son of Emperor Charles V’s powerful state minister, Nicolas de Granvelle, laid down Spanish policy in the Netherlands around the middle of the 16th century. When he took part in the Augsburg Parliament in 1548, he was accompanied by Anthonis Mor, a young painter of Dutch origin. Mor’s portraits combined sharply realistic observation with a deliberate emphasis on form which submitted the subject portrayed to strict principles.
