Adriaen Hanneman (circa 1603 – buried 11 July 1671), Dutch painter best known for his portraits of English Royalists living in exile in the Netherlands after the English Civil War, painted in a style strongly influenced by his contemporary, Anthony van Dyck. He was born into a wealthy Catholic family in the Hague, and studied drawing with the Hague portrait artist Jan Antonisz. van Ravesteyn. He left for England in 1623, where he remained there for the next sixteen years. There he met and was influenced by Anthony van Dyck, Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen, and Daniel Mytens; it's possible that he worked in van Dyck's studio. He returned to the Hague in 1639, marrying the daughter of his old drawing teacher the following year. He was highly respected and prosperous, and many of his pupils went on to successful careers, themselves. But in the last few years of his life, with the growing political and military problems plaguing the Dutch Republic, he experienced increasing financial difficulties before his death at the age of about sixty-eight.
