A beautiful, lively tour through the portraits of one of the most
celebrated painters of 17th century Europe In this sumptuously
illustrated volume, eminent art historian Sir Christopher White
places the portraiture of renowned Flemish painter Anthony Van Dyck
(1599-1641) in context among the work of his contemporaries working
in and around the courts of seventeenth-century Europe. Van Dyck's
artistic development is charted through his travels, beginning in
his native Antwerp, then to England, Italy, Brussels, the Hague,
and back again. Combining historical insights with a discerning
appreciation of the work, White brings Van Dyck's paintings to
life, showing how the virtuoso not only admired his artistic
predecessors and rivals but refashioned what he learned from them
into new kind of portraiture. Beautifully produced and a pleasure
to read, this book is an important contribution to the literature
on a celebrated painter. Distributed for Modern Art Press
