BECK (or BEEK), DAVID (16211656)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 608 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BECK (or BEEK), DAVID (16211656) , Dutch portrait-painter, was born at Arnheim in Guelderland. He was trained by Van Dyck, from whom he acquired the fine manner of pencilling and sweet
style
  of colouring
peculiar
  to that
great
  master. He possessed likewise that freedom of hand and readiness, or rather rapidity of execution, for which Van Dyck was so remarkable, insomuch that when King
Charles
  I. observed the expeditious manner of Beck's
painting
 , he exclaimed, " Faith! Beck, I believe you could paint riding
post
 ." He was appointed portrait-painter and
chamberlain
  to Queen Christina of
Sweden
 , and he executed portraits of most of the sovereigns of Europe to adorn her gallery. His death at the Hague was suspected of being due to poisoning.
