a Flemish Baroque painter. He obtained a lucrative patronage through his marriage with a niece of the king's serjeant-painter, Robert Streater. He was also patronised by Charles Robartes, earl of Radnor, who had a great number of Van Son's paintings in his house in St. James's Square. He lived for some time in Long Acre, but finally in St. Albans Street, St. James's, where he died about 1718. He sometimes introduced his own portrait into his paintings.
