Title Page from the Iconography Made 1645 Flanders. The painter Anthony van Dyck etched only the head of most of his portraits, leaving the background to other artists. Jacques Neeffs expanded this print with engraved lines, transforming Van Dyckís abbreviated self-portrait into a sculptural bust atop a robust column. Finished posthumously, long after Van Dyckís appointment as court painter to Charles I of England, the resulting print reinforces Van Dyckís fame, serving as it does as the title page to his Iconography, a series of portraits of artists and other celebrated contemporary figures. His original self-portrait head, itself iconic, would become a milestone in the history of artist self-portraits.. Etching and engraving in black on ivory laid paper . Jacques Neeffs
