Johannes Neyt the Elder's self-portrait, currently part of a private collection
Johannes Philip Alexander Neyt (2 February 1597 in Grijzestad - 18 May 1648 in Grijzestad), known as Johannes Neyt the Elder (Dutch: Johannes Neyt de Oude), was a Brunanter painter and portraitist. Born into the Grijzestader Neyt family he was able to pursue an artistic career under the tutelage of local painter Ricard de Perle. Neyt's work is not too well known, but it was an inspiration for his grandson, who would become a well-known painter.
