Dyck,Sir Antoon van (1599-1641) Baroque Flemish painter

Antoon van Dyck, was born in Antwerp on 1599. At the age of ten was accepted into Hendrik van Balen’s atelier. He opened his own studio in 1615 . During that period he began working with Rubens, whom he assisted in making the cartoons of the Decius Mus Addressing the Legions for Franco Cattaneo and decorating the ceiling in the church of Jesus in Antwerp.He lived in Italy from 1621 to 1627, mainly in Genoa. He also visited Florence, Bologna and Venice.  Then, in 1629, after another English sojourn, he painted Rinaldo and Armida for King Charles I. In 1632 Van Dyck was traveling again, first he stopped in Holland at the court of Frederick Henry, then in Brussels and finally in London where he was knighted and appointed official painter to the King.  He painted many portraits for the English king, including Charles I in Three Positions. His output was almost exclusively dedicated to portraits, of members of the royal family and the entire English aristocracy. He married Mary Ruthven, lady-in-waiting to Queen Henrietta Maria (1639), and a daughter Justiniana was born to the couple two years later. In 1640 he went to Paris where he hoped to obtain the commission for the Grande Gallerie du Louvre which was actually given to Poussin. He returned to London early in 1641, and died in December of that same year.
