Hendrik Munnichhoven

Hendrick Munnichhoven, probably born in Utrecht, was a Dutch painter. He became a master in the Utrecht Guild of Saint Luke in 1627 or 1633 and its dean in 1643. The same year he moved to The Hague as court painter of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange. He was hired in 1650 by Queen Christina of Sweden and was commissioned to paint several portraits. Munnikhoven was mainly active as a copyist of other artists' works; one of his copies of David Beck's painting of Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie is on display at Gripsholm Castle.
