Who was the famous portrait painter who came from Europe?
There were many famous portrait painters who came from Europe. In fact, there are too many to name. Portrait painting as a formal artistic discipline in Europe dates back to the 14th century, and many artists made a living producing portraits for wealthy patrons. Some of the most notable European portrait artists include Diego Velázquez, Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, Hans Holbein the Younger, Francisco Goya, Titian, Anthony van Dyck, Johannes Vermeer and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.
