A fact from Steven van der Meulen appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 March 2008, and was viewed approximately 1,907 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the earliest full-length portrait of Elizabeth I by Tudor court painter Steven van der Meulen, was auctioned by Sotheby's in 2007 for £2.6 million, more than twice its expected maximum?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/March.

Reducing the Oeuvre

I have to admit I was always perplexed by the radically different forms of inscription that Strong illustrated for van der Meulen in English Icon. Not only are the capital A's very distinct, but the abbreviations of "anno" are different. The recent discovery of his will dated 1563 and proved January 1564 (it's in Hearn) means anything formerly atrributed to van der Meulen but dated 1564-68 has got to be by someone else. - PKM (talk) 17:29, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The "condition report" on Sotheby's website notes "The correct dates for the artist are Fl.1543-1563," correcting the information in the 2007 printed catalogue. I've added that to the footnote about acceptance of the will. - PKM (talk) 19:46, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'vs also uploaded Van der Meulen's portrait of Thomas Percy, Earl of Northumberland, 1566. - PKM (talk) 19:46, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After update
