Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641) was a Flemish Baroque artist. He became the leading court painter in England and is renowned for his portraits of Charles I of England and his family. Among his other works are Portrait of the Artist's Wife, Duke of Richmond, and The Artist (a self-portrait). This painting, titled Charles I, is said to be the finest portrait of Charles I in existence. It shows Van Dyck in his most attractive aspect as a painter of the aristocracy. Executed before the marked decline in his technical powers, which marred, from an artistic standpoint, the later pictures of his English period, it posesses the dignity and distinction he knew so well how to infuse in portraying the nobility of our country. It is one of the best examples of the artist's powers as a colorist.
