Adam Frans van der Meulen or Adam-François van der Meulen[1][2] (11 January 1632 – 15 October 1690) was a Flemish painter and draughtsman who was particularly known for his scenes of military campaigns and conquests.[3] Van der Meulen also painted portraits, hunting scenes, paintings of chateaux and landscapes. He created designs for prints and cartoons for tapestries.[4]
He worked in the service of the French king Louis XIV of France for whom he painted his victories, his new possessions and portraits.[2] He was instrumental in building the propagandistic image of the French king as the 'Sun King'.[5] His battle scenes had an important influence on the development on the genre of military painting in France.[6]
