(2) Marcus Gheeraerts (ii)
(b Bruges, 1561; d London, 19 Jan 1635–6). Painter, son of (1) Marcus Gheeraerts (i). He spent his early years in Bruges, where his father was active as a painter and printmaker, but at the age of seven they moved to London. Marcus (ii) was trained as a painter there by his father and by the painter Lucas de Heere, who had also left Flanders for religious reasons, remaining in London until 1577. It is likely that at the end of the 1580s Marcus (ii) again spent some time in the Low Countries, since his early paintings reveal the influence of the Antwerp school and chiefly the work of Frans Pourbus the elder.
