The Great Masters-Van Dyck: A Master in the Genoese Century
(Kultur, 1998)
Running Time: 42 Minutes
The Flemish painter Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641) was one of the most important and prolific portraitists of the 17th century and one of the most brilliant colorists in art.
Van Deck was born March 22, 1599, in Antwerp, and his precocious artistic talent was already obvious at age 11, when he was apprenticed to the Flemish historical painter Hendrik van Balen. He was admitted to the Antwerp guild of painters in 1618, before his 19th birthday. He spent the next two years as a member of the workshop of the Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens in Antwerp. Van Dyck’s work during this period is in the lush, exuberant style of Rubens, and several paintings attributed to Rubens have since been ascribed to Van Dyck.
From 1620 to 1627 Van Dyck traveled in Italy, where he was in great demand as a portraitist and where he developed the style of his maturity. Influenced by the great Venetian painters Titian, Veronese, and Bellini, as well as the Genoese masters, he adopted colors of great richness and jewel-like purity. No other painter of the age surpassed Van Dyck at portraying the shimmering whites of satin, the smooth blues of silk, or the rich crimsons of velvet.
Back in Antwerp from 1627 to 1632, Van Dyck worked as a portraitist and a painter of church pictures. In 1632 he settled in London as chief court painter to King Charles I. In 1635 Van Dyck painted his masterpiece, Portrait of Charles I in Hunting Dress (Louvre, Paris).
Van Deck was one of the most influential 17th-century painters. He set a new style for Flemish art and founded the English school of painting; the portraitists Sir Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborourgh of that school were his artistic heirs. He died in London on Dec. 9, 1641.
