] but upon the English Restoration of 1660 did not follow his patron, but moved to The Hague, where he worked as a portrait painter for the rest of his life. The Elector of Brandenburg asked him to work at his court in Berlin, but he refused this invitation. He was the teacher of Jacobus de Baen (possibly his son), Johann Friedrich Bodecker, Denys Godijn, Hendrik van Limborch, Nicolaes van Ravesteyn, Petro van Rijs, Jan van Sweel, and Johannes Vollevens.

He died in 1702 around his 69th birthday, and was buried in The Hague on 8 March 1702.

Works

His portraits were popular in his own day, and he painted the most distinguished people of his time. He portrayed Cornelis de Witt, Johan de Witt, the Grandduke of Tuscany, and King-stadtholder William III of England. Besides portraits, he also painted cityscapes, history paintings, and genre paintings.

The German "Meyers Konversations-Lexikon" (1885–1892) states that his large reputation during his life was not justified by his "characterless, rigid, and unattractively coloured images".
