His principal patrons were successive Regents of the Netherlands, Margaret of Austria and Mary of Hungary. Van Orley is at his best in portraits. ## Related artworks - [Altarpiece of Calvary]() - [Altarpiece of Calvary]() - [Altarpiece of Sts Thomas and Matthew \(detail\)]() - [Count Henry I of Nassau with his Bride]() - [Haneton Triptych \(centre panel\)]() - [Haneton Triptych \(wings\)]() - [Holy Family]() - [Holy Family]() - [Joris van Zelle]() - [November]() - [Portrait of Charles V]() - [Portrait of Margaret of Austria]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
