Oliver de Critz (1626 – 1651)[1] was an English painter.
He was born in London in 1626,[1][2] the son of John de Critz, a painter of Flemish descent who was the Serjeant Painter of Britain, and his third wife.[3] His relatives Thomas and Emmanuel were also painters.[1][4] His name is also spelled Oliver Decritz and Oliver de Crats.[1]
A possible self-portrait by Oliver de Critz is in the Ashmolean Museum.[4] In it, he is depicted with a green cloak. In 1646, Oliver de Critz inherited from his grandfather "my greene Cloake".[3] However, this portrait could also be the work of his half-brother Thomas.[3]
He died in London in August or September 1651, and was buried on 27 September 1651.[1]
