Felipe Diricksen

He was grandson of Anton van den Wyngaerde, called in Spain Antonio de las Viñas, and son of the painter of Rodrigo Diricksen.

At twenty he married Ana Oliver y Bobadilla, whose dowry included land and a residence.

In 1612 he entered the service of King Philip III of Spain as an official court painter.

In 1620 he painted a portrait of King Philip III in Lisbon depicting the swearing in ceremony with a view of the city in the distance.

Few details follow about his life, almost all refer to his continued status as official court painter, which remained in effect until 1639, and even up to 1678 he was still designated as "on reserve".
