Martin Ryckaert (bap. 1587 – 1631) was a Flemish painter known for his small, usually imaginary landscapes in an Italianate style. Born to the Ryckaert family in Antwerp, he is believed to have studied under his father David Ryckaert I and later Tobias Verhaecht. In 1611, he was registered as a "painter with one arm" at the Guild of Saint Luke in Antwerp, where he was also active in the local chamber of rhetoric.
This painting of Ryckaert as a king was completed by Anthony van Dyck, reportedly a close friend, between 1627 and 1632. It now hangs at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.Painting: Anthony van Dyck
