Description: | The present copy is based on a self-portrait by Sir Anthony van Dyck, executed around 1622-23. The original is in St Petersburg's Hermitage Museum, for which it was bought in 1772 from the Crozat Collection in Paris, where it was recorded in an inventory of 1740; it may have been the same painting owned by Jan-Baptista Anthoine in Antwerp, according to a 1691 inventory. The Leamington Spa piece copies the composition fairly accurately, including the broken column and the balustrade moulding. However, it lacks the quality of a good workshop copy, especially in the quality of the brushwork and in the face, which here appears slightly puffy. | Subjects: | Anthony van) portrait (Dyck | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) Æ After | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8636... | Go to resource |
