Contents
Portraits (1613-1632)
Between 1613 and 1632, van Dyck travelled all over Europe – from his native Antwerp (where he began working as a painter, initially under Hendrick van Balen and later with Peter Paul Rubens), to England for a brief stay at the court of James I and then to Italy, where he had the chance to get to know the old masters. He then finally settled back in Flanders.
Portraits (1632-1649)
From 1632 until his death in 1641, van Dyck travelled regularly to London and the court of his patron Charles I. An art-lover, Charles I made van Dyck his Principal Painter and a baronet. In between he spent short periods in Antwerp, Brussels and Paris, where he hoped to become a court painter to Louis XIII of France.
Mythological paintings
Mainly celebrated as a portraitist, van Dyck also produced several historical, religious and mythological works.
