His family were originally from Cologne, but moved via Antwerp to London. As a young man, from 1618 to 1643, Van Ceulen was active in England as a portraitist. There he received numerous commissions from the English aristocracy and, alongside Lely and Kneller, became the most popular portrait painter of the Stuart era. In 1643 his name appears in the records of the painters’ guild in Middelburg; somewhat later, in 1646, in corresponding documents in Amsterdam; and the following year in The Hague. He was probably a pupil of Marcus Geeraert for a time, and produced numerous portraits, including miniatures, with a pronounced realism in their rendering of clothing, facial features, skin and other elements. In his later works we usually find a greenish blue background, with a few grey tinges and brown shadows.
