Cooper, Samuel

Cooper, Samuel

▪ English artist
born c. 1608
died May 5, 1672, London, Eng.
 painter, one of the finest English miniaturists (miniature painting), and perhaps the most celebrated of all English artists in his own day.

      Cooper was the younger brother of the miniaturist Alexander Cooper (Cooper, Alexander) and, like his brother, a pupil of their uncle, John Hoskins. He worked for Oliver Cromwell (Cromwell, Oliver) as well as for the restored monarchy and court. His miniature portraits are remarkable for both their expressive Baroque use of colour and brushwork within a tiny format and for their effective presentation of their subjects' individual character.
