Biography:
Born in France, Isaac Oliver moved to England in 1568 with his goldsmith father. He became a naturalized citizen in 1606, but continued to consider himself a French citizen and had difficulty learning the English language. Oliver studied under Hilliard and began a rival practice to his mentor in 1590. While Hilliard retained the attention of King James I, Oliver began working for Queen Anne of Denmark. Also Henry, Prince of Wales and his court commissioned him in 1604. Oliver was in Venice in 1596, where he reproduced Renaissance paintings in miniatures. He also was a portraitist, possibly creating some paintings that are attributed to William Larkin.
