- Paul van Somer (c. 1577 – 1621), also known as Paulus van Somer, was a Flemish artist who arrived in England from Antwerp during the reign of King James I of England and became one of the leading painters of the royal court. He painted a number of portraits both of James and his consort, Queen Anne of Denmark, and of nobles such as Ludovic Stuart, earl of Lennox, Elizabeth Stanley, Countess of Huntingdon, and Lady Anne Clifford. He is sometimes designated as "Paul van Somer I" to distinguish him from the engraver of the same name who was active in England between 1670 and 1694. Paul van Somer is in some ways an elusive figure: not much is known about him, and his art is rarely written about;. According to Karel van Mander he was the brother of Barend van Someren, who married and brought back the daughter of Aert Mijtens after he returned from Italy. Van Mander did not mention whether Paul had accompanied his brother to Italy or not, and only remarked that Paul was still a bachelor. According to the RKD Paul lived during the years 1612–1614 in the house of Steven de Gheyn in Leiden, during 1616 in Brussels, and after that moved to London, where he became court painter. He occupied an important position as one of James and Anne's favourite painters and can be seen as a forerunner of the more famous Flemish and Dutch artists, in particular Daniel Mytens and Anthony van Dyck, who followed in his footsteps as leading court painters. (In fact, one of van Dyck's first tasks was to copy the royal portraits of Paul van Somer, a duty he did not enjoy.) Van Somer arrived in England as a mature artist, having travelled widely in northern Europe: Booth Tarkington names the year of his arrival as 1606, but H.L.Meakinnotes that he did not settle permanently in the country until after 1616. Van Somer's achievement is described in the gallery notes at the Royal Collection as follows: "Like Daniel Mytens, who had settled in London from the Netherlands by 1618 and was Van Somer’s neighbour in St Martin’s Lane, Van Somer brought a new grandeur, fluency and naturalism to British court portraiture." Opinion of van Somer's work has, however, been divided: Horace Walpole thought one of Somers's portraits as fine as a Van Dyck, and Booth Tarkington, in his psychological study King James in Faded Paint suggested that "Paulus van Somer had gifts and one of them was for the perception of character"; on the other hand, art critic Sir John Rothenstein condemned van Somer's work as dull and heavy. Copies of van Somer's royal portraits were often commissioned, particularly as James disliked sitting for painters, to be sent as gifts overseas. Many variants also exist in printed form. Van Somer is said to have introduced regalia into royal portraiture, for example that of the Order of the garter. The ambassador in Brussels, William Trumbull sent measurements for portraits to Van Somer. He replied in December 1618, via Edward Norgate, that the suggested sizes were too narrow. A standard full length portrait of usual proportions would cost £30 or £25. Van Somer received additional commissions from non-royal sources. The Earl of Rutland paid him £26 for portraits in 1618, and £37 for pictures of King James and Prince Charles in 1619. Lady Anne Clifford refers in her diary to being painted by him on 30 August 1619. A curiosity of van Somer's oeuvre is his portrait of Elizabeth Drury (1596–1610), a girl made famous by John Donne's poems on her death, such as "An Anatomy of the World". Van Somer may have painted the portrait several years after Elizabeth's death, or possibly during her visit to the continent with her parents shortly before she died. The portrait is noteworthy in that the subject is depicted in a semi-recumbent position—unusual for a non-nude of the period— which may, as H.L.Meakin points out, be intended as a sign of a philosophical or melancholy character, as in Nicholas Hilliard's portrait of Henry Percy, earl of Northumberland. Some of van Somer's work can still be seen today. He completed a much-reproduced portrait of James I in 1616 and one of Queen Anne in hunting attire with her African servant, horse, and hunting dogs, in the grounds of Oatlands, a year later. Van Somer had by then become Anne's favourite painter, supplanting John de Critz and Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger. Another portrait of Anne of Denmark, at Drumlanrig Castle, includes several jewels, a diamond crossbow in her hair, with diamond badges of "S" and "C4" referring to her family, and a centrally placed cross or aigrette which may the jewel known as the "Mirror of France". When she died in 1619 she owed him £170, and he joined her funeral procession as her "picture maker" with the artists Marcus Gheeraerts and Peter Oliver. Other portraits include those of Lady Elizabeth Grey, countess of Kent, painted in about 1619, and a portrait of Ludovic Stewart, 2nd Duke of Lennox.

- Paul van Somer (ca. 1577 – 1621) was een Zuid-Nederlands kunstschilder die vanuit Antwerpen naar Engeland reisde tijdens het regime van Jacobus I. Paul van Somer werd een van de voornaamste schilders aan het Engels koninklijk hof. Hij schilderde een aantal portretten van zowel Jacobus, zijn echtgenote Anna van Denemarken en andere leden van het hof. Over Paul van Somer is niet veel geweten. Ook zijn kunst is weinig of niet beschreven. Volgens Karel van Mander was hij de broer van Barend van Someren, die de dochter van Aert Mijtens meebracht en huwde nadat hij terugkeerde uit Italië. Van Mander vermeldt niet of Paul zijn broer vergezelde op die reis maar zegt wel dat hij nog ongehuwd was. Volgens gegevens in het Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie leefde Paul van 1612 tot 1614 in het huis van Steven de Gheyn in Leiden, in 1616 in Brussel en vertrok dan naar Londen waar hij hofschilder werd. Hij effende het pad voor latere hofschilders uit de Lage Landen in Engeland zoals Daniël Mijtens en Antoon van Dyck. Een van Van Dycks eerste taken aan het hof was het kopiëren van een aantal koninklijke portretten van Van Somer, zeer tegen zijn zin. Paul van Somer was, door zijn reizen door Noord-Europa, al een gerijpt kunstenaar toen hij in Engeland aankwam. Paul van Somer ontving vaak opdrachten om koninklijke portretten te kopiëren. Jacobus haatte het poseren en verstuurde liever kopieën naar het buitenland. Er bestaan van zijn oeuvre veel varianten in gedrukte vorm. Van de schilder wordt gezegd dat hij als eerste regalia in zijn portretten verwerkte, onder meer de orde van de Kousenband. Ook andere leden van de hoge adel lieten zich door Van Somer portretteren.
