Cooper, Samuel

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.06 sec.

Cooper, Samuel (1609-1672)

English portrait miniaturist. His subjects included Milton, members of Charles II's court, the diarist Samuel Pepys' wife, and Oliver Cromwell.

He departed from the tradition of Hilliard and Oliver in giving the miniature some of the quality of the large oil portrait, being known as a ‘van Dyck in little’. His contemporaries greatly admired him, and to Aubrey he was ‘the prince of limners’. His brother Alexander (fl. 1630-60) was also a miniature painter who worked at Amsterdam and at the court of Queen Christina of Sweden.
