Anton van den Wyngaerde

Anton van den Wyngaerde (c. 1525–1571) was a Flemish topographical artist, born in Antwerp, who made panoramic views of cities across northern Europe. Around 1544 he produced a fourteen-sheet panorama of London, including a plan of Whitehall Palace drawn for Henry VIII, and he later recorded the sieges of Saint-Quentin and Ham during Philip II's 1557 campaign.

He visited England in 1558–1559 to draw Dover, London and the royal palaces, then from about 1562 worked in Spain, where Philip II commissioned at least sixty-two city views, among them Barcelona, Seville, Toledo and Madrid. He died in Madrid on 7 May 1571.
