Johnny Van Haeften

John Henry Van Haeften (born 1952)^[1] is a British art dealer, who specialises in 16th and 17th century Dutch and Flemish Old Master paintings. He has been a fanatical stamp collector from a young age, specialising in the stamps of Malta, and credits stamp collecting with enabling him to develop the eye for detail that he uses in his profession. He began his career at Christie's auction house which he joined at the age of 17 where he worked on the integration of the stamp dealers Robson Lowe into the firm. He subsequently transferred to their pictures department before starting his own gallery with his wife Sarah in 1977. He estimated in 2017 that he had sold 4,800 paintings during his career.
