"Portrait histoire of a young man and lady as Meleager and Atalanta" is a 17th-century painting by Dutch artist Jan Mytens, who was active during the Dutch Golden Age. This work is an example of a "portrait historié," a genre of portraiture that depicts the sitter in the guise of a figure from mythology, history, or literature. In this particular painting, Mytens portrays a young couple as the mythological characters Meleager, a celebrated hero, and Atalanta, a renowned huntress, both of whom participated in the Calydonian boar hunt according to Greek mythology.

The painting is notable for its rich allegorical content and the way it blends portraiture with historical narrative. By casting the sitters as classical figures, Mytens not only enhances their social status but also imbues the portrait with layers of meaning, reflecting the virtues and attributes associated with Meleager and Atalanta—such as bravery, beauty, and nobility.

Jan Mytens, born in The Hague around 1614 and died in 1670, was known for his portraits and historical scenes. His style was influenced by the works of Anthony van Dyck and was characterized by a refined use of color and attention to detail. "Portrait histoire of a young man and lady as Meleager and Atalanta" exemplifies Mytens' skill in capturing the elegance and grace of his subjects, while also demonstrating his ability to incorporate mythological themes into his compositions.

The painting serves as an important example of the cultural and artistic practices of the Dutch Golden Age, where art patrons often sought to align themselves with the grandeur of the past. It remains a valuable piece for the study of iconography in portraiture, as well as for understanding the social aspirations of the Dutch elite during this period.
