Description: | This is a miniature copy by William Nicholson (1781-1844) after Van Dyck's portrait of the Infanta Clara Eugenia, Archduchess of Austria and Regent of the Netherlands (1566-1633), wearing the habit of the Poor Clares, which she entered after her husband's death. Versions of Van Dyck's original full-length portrait (Pinacoteca, Turin) are in the Louvre, the Parma Museum, the Groeninge in Bruges, the Walker Art Gallery, Hopetoun House and Dundee Art Gallery. Nicholson, an almost entirely self-taught artist, made over 100 copies after Old Master paintings. The close study of works of art in private and public galleries was an essential part of his training. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Nicholson, William (British artist, 1781-1844) Æ After Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8474... | Go to resource |
