Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641) is among the greatest portrait
painters of all time. The 1990s opened and closed with major
exhibitions devoted to his work, and now the long-awaited catalogue
raisonne of his painted oeuvre is complete.
A native of Antwerp, Van Dyck also lived and worked for long
periods in Italy and England, where his brief, productive life
ended. He is best known for his work at the court of Charles I. His
full-length portraits of aristocrats in the Caroline court and in
Genoa, Antwerp, Brussels, and The Hague influenced the history of
Western portraiture into the twentieth century in the work of John
Singer Sargent. Handsomely designed and illustrated, the volume
includes a reproduction of every known authentic painting by the
artist as well as the provenance and the significant facts and
literature on each. This catalogue raisonne is, fittingly, the
collaborative work of an international team devoted to the study of
this major international artist.
Susan J. Barnes, an independent art historian, co-curated a Van
Dyck exhibit in Washington, D.C., 1990. Nora De Poorter is director
of the Rubenianum, Antwerp. Oliver Millar, Surveyor Emeritus of The
Queen's Pictures, organized an exhibition of Van Dyck's English
work at the National Portrait Gallery, London, 1982-83. Horst Vey,
former director of the Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe, is author of the
standard work on Van Dyck's drawings.
