Henry Stone (painter)

Henry went to Holland, where he was apprenticed to his uncle, the painter Thomas de Keyser.

He later went on a tour of the continent with his brother Nicholas Jr. visiting France, and Italy to study art, and returned in 1642.

Stone was, however, chiefly known as a portrait painter, and was an excellent copyist of the works of Van Dyck and the Italian Masters.

Stone inherited his father's house and workyard in Long Acre, London and died there on 24 August 1653.

He was buried on 27 August near his father in St. Martin's Church, and on his inscription it is stated that he had passed the greatest part of thirty-seven years in Holland, France, and Italy.
