Anthony More
Encyclopedia
Sir Antonis Mor, Anthonis Mor, or Antonio Moro (c. 1517 - 1577) was a Netherlandish portrait painter, much in demand by the courts of Europe. He has also been referred to as Antoon, Anthonius, Anthonis, or Mor van Dashorst, Antonio Moro, Anthony More, etc., but signed most of his portraits as, Anthonis Mor.
, Netherlands
by some estimation between 1516 and 1520. What is known of his early life is that his artistic education commenced under Jan van Scorel
. His earliest work is probably a portrait at Stockholm
, dated 1538.
A group of Knights of St. John, at Utrecht
, supposed to have been painted about 1541; a picture of two pilgrims at the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, dated 1544; together with the portrait of an unknown woman, in the Lille gallery
, were probably among his earliest works although their authenticity has not been proved.
In 1547, he was received as a member of the Venerable Guild of St. Luke at Antwerp, and shortly afterwards (about 1548) he attracted the attention of Cardinal Granvelle, Bishop of Arras, who became his steady patron. Of the portraits executed during the early period of his career as Granvelle's protege, two are especially notable: one of the bishop himself (in the imperial gallery in Vienna), and one of the Duke of Alba
, which now belongs to the Hispanic Society of New York. Between 1549 and 1550 Prince Philip II of Spain
(1527–1598) traveled around the Netherlands to present himself as the future ruler. Mor painted his portrait in Brussels in 1549. He probably visited Italy
(when exactly is not known) where he copied some works by Titian
, notably the Danaë.
and his wife Maria of Austria, their daughter Anna and the son of Philip, Don Carlos. In Lisbon, Mor portrayed King João
, Queen Catharina, prince João and Philip’s future wife princess Maria of Portugal. Little more about Mor's stay in Portugal is known, but Mor was definitely back in Brussels in November 1553.
. During these negotiations Mor was send to England to paint a portrait of Mary, but the exact date of the painting is unknown. This portrait was much appreciated in England and Mor made at least three versions, much the best known likeness of the queen (Prado, Marquess of Northampton). On 20 December 1553 Philip officially appointed Mor as painter in his service.
His productivity was large in this period and amongst these works are some of his most important portraits, such as the portrait of Prince William I of Orange (William the Silent) (1555), the portrait of Alessandro Farnese (1557) and a new portrait of Philip II. Other important works from this period are the portrait of Jane Dormer (1558), the portraits of Jean Lecocq and his wife (1559), and the portrait of Jan van Scorel (1559), which was at a later time to be hung at his tomb and now belongs to the Society of Antiquaries (London). After the death of Mary Tudor in 1558 Philip was remarried in June 1559 to Isabella de Valois. The original of the portrait which Mor painted of her around 1561 has probably been lost. Also from this period dates the only known self-portrait of Anthonis Mor, now in the Uffizi Gallery, and one of his (presumed) wife, now in the Prado
(see image gallery below).
Mor became too confidential with the king and this aroused the suspicion of the Inquisition. He may also have been alarmed by the increasingly repressive Counter-Reformation
tenor of the Spanish court. Mor's pupil Alonso Sánchez Coello
continued in the style of his master, and replaced him as Spanish court painter.
. After his return Mor focused on the portrayal of citizens, especially of the trade elite in Antwerp and their wives, Beside this type of portrait (among others the Portrait of Thomas Gresham
) he also painted artisans such as the goldsmith Steven van Herwijck
(1564). These works differs from the paintings which Mor made for the court and they show another side of his skills. The return of Granvelle to France and the increasing social and political disorder in the Netherlands caused financial problems for Mor. These problems were partly solved with the commissions and favours granted by the duke of Alva. From 1568 Mor was established in Antwerp and in 1572 he registered as a master with the Antwerp guild. Possibly Mor visited England once again in 1568, based on the Portrait of a nobleman with dog and of the Portrait of Sir Henry Lee
. In 1559 and 1562 Mor painted the portraits of Margaretha of Parma. On her way to Spain Anna of Austria stayed for a period of time in Antwerp where she was portrayed by Mor in 1570. This is the last know work which he painted for the court.
Hereafter it becomes more quiet around Mor, maybe as result of competition by painters such as Adriaen Thomasz. Key, Frans Pourbus the Elder
(1545–1581) and Frans Floris
(1519/20-1570). The last portrait attributed to Mor is the Portrait of Hubertus Goltzius dated 1576. Mor focused during his last years on religious and mythological work, but in this area he would never equal his success as a portrait painter. The last document that refers to him was one issued at Antwerp in 1573. He probably died there shortly afterwards.
Many of Mor's portraits were copied by others. Among those whose works have been confused with Mor's are Alonso Sánchez Coello
, Francisco de Holanda
, and Cristóvão de Morais Lopes
. A large number of engraving
s based on his work also circulated.

Brussels-Utrecht
In October 1555 Charles V abdicated the throne. During the ceremonies and festivities surrounding the coronation of Philip as king of Spain Mor would have received many commissions. Unfortunately many of these painting are lost or only known through copies.His productivity was large in this period and amongst these works are some of his most important portraits, such as the portrait of Prince William I of Orange (William the Silent) (1555), the portrait of Alessandro Farnese (1557) and a new portrait of Philip II. Other important works from this period are the portrait of Jane Dormer (1558), the portraits of Jean Lecocq and his wife (1559), and the portrait of Jan van Scorel (1559), which was at a later time to be hung at his tomb and now belongs to the Society of Antiquaries (London).

The Spanish court
Mor probably accompanied Philip on his return to Spain in 1559. That Mor stayed at the Spanish court is confirmed by the letters which Philip send regularly to Mor after he had left again in 1561. In these letters the return of the painter to the court was asked several for times by Philip, but Mor would never comply to this request. Among the works which Mor supposedly painted in Spain are the Portrait of Juana of Austria and the Portrait of Don Carlos. A much praised work from this period is the Portrait of Pejerón, the fool of the earl of Benavente and the duke of Alva. There has been extended speculation about the reason for his departure. According to Carel van ManderCarel van Mander
