Bartholomeus van der Helst (1613–1670) was a United Provinces portrait painter. The son of a Haarlem innkeeper, Van der Helst moved to Amsterdam some time before 1636, for he was married in that year. His first dated picture, a group portrait of the regents of the Walloon Orphanage, dates from 1637. In Amsterdam Van der Helst was a contemporary of Rembrandt. He soon became the most popular painter of portraits in that city, his flattering portrayals in the style of Anthony van Dyck being more immediately appealing than Rembrandt's dark and introspective later work. Some of Rembrandt's pupils, including Ferdinand Bol and Govaert Flinck, adopted Van Helst's style instead of their master's. His large group portrait, ''Banquet of the Amsterdam Civic Guard in Celebration of the Peace of Westphalia'', was painted in 1648, and exhibited to popular acclaim. When Sir Joshua Reynolds visited Amsterdam in 1781, he praised the painting as "perhaps, the first picture of portraits in the world, comprehending more of those qualities which make a perfect portrait than any other I have ever seen".
