He is mainly remembered for his landscape paintings and prints. He worked in many places in Europe, including Paris, Rome and Antwerp. Adam Frans van der Meulen (Brussels 1632 – 1690 Paris) was a Flemish painter, publisher and draughtsperson. He is known for creating designs for prints as well as tapestries. Although he painted castles and landscapes, he is mainly remembered for his miltary scenes.
