"Sir Anthonis Mor, also known as Anthonis Mor van Dashorst and 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, and as Antonio Moro, António Mouro, Anthony More, etc., but signed most of his portraits as Anthonis Mor.
Mor developed a formal style for court portraits, largely based on Titian, that was extremely influential on court painters across Europe, especially in the Iberian Peninsula, where it created a tradition that led to Diego Velázquez. It can include considerable psychological penetration, especially in portraits of men, but always gives the subject a grand and self-possessed air." - (en.wikipedia.org 04.06.2021)
