Abstract: In the 16th and 17th century Kings and queens of England commissioned German, Dutch and Flemish painters for portraits. Especially in the 16th century, as a result of the Duke of Alva?s atrocities in Holland, London became the new home of migrating Flemish artists. For example, Hans Holbein, Hans Eworth, poet-painter Lucas de Heere, the young John de Critz I, soldier painter James I, Marcus Gheeraerts I and son, Isaac Oliver were among these artists. Therefore, during the 1500-1700 periods foreign artists became popular among the English royal family and aristocrat art lovers. For this reason, we can frequently see the Flemish influence on British painting in this period. The 17th century was the period when the Flemish influence was most prominent especially on TUDOR portraits. Another main influence on the works of the painters of this period was the ancient period. The aim of our study is to examine the Ancient and Flemish influence on the paintings of one of the most important Flemish artist of the period, Hans Eworth and try to address the style features that differ him from other artists of the period.
