ANTHONY VAN DYCK. Portrait of a Man

Portrait of a Man. Artist: Anthony van Dyck (Flemish, Antwerp 1599-1641 London). Dimensions: 41 3/4 x 28 5/8 in. (106 x 72.7 cm). Date: ca. 1618.
This impressive portrait, painted about 1618 when the artist was eighteen or nineteen years old, is very close in style to contemporary and slightly earlier portraits by Rubens, for whom Van Dyck was working at the time. In its insistence on volume and textures, the close attention to costume detail, and the passive pose and expression, the painting also adheres to an older Netherlandish tradition, as seen in portraits by Anthonis Mor (ca. 1516/19-ca. 1575/76).
