Frans Pourbus known as the Younger, born in Antwerp around 1569-1570, was called to Paris by the sister of Marie de Medici. He came for the first time for a brief stay on the occasion of the baptism of Louis XIII in 1606, then settled permanently in Paris from September 1609. In 1618, an annual pension was allocated to him as “painter to the king » and, the same year, was naturalized French. He died in Paris in 1622
