Sir Anthony van Dyck (Flemish / English, 1599 - 1641)
Van Dyck is perhaps most famous for the grand and elegant portraits he painted of the British aristocracy when he was court painter to King Charles I. He trained in Antwerp, and worked in Rubens?s studio as an assistant. His outstanding talents were recognised and encouraged by Rubens, who described him as his `best pupil?. Van Dyck developed his sumptuous portrait style during time spent in Italy, but also painted impressive religious, allegorical and mythical works. After returning to Antwerp for several years, Van Dyck moved to London in 1632, having accepted the King?s invitation to work for him, and remained there for the rest of his short but influential career.
