Van Dyck in Britain - Hardcover
The Flemish Baroque painter Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641) first came to Britain in 1620 at the behest of King James. When James died in 1625, his successor, Charles I, recognized van Dyck's skill in capturing the royal image. After a sojourn in Italy, the painter returned to England in 1632, was almost immediately knighted and provided with property and a pension, and became the chief painter of the court.
Imbued with an understated authority and relaxed elegance, van Dyck's portraits of the royal family were an instant success. Charles I was depicted as both a powerful sovereign and "nature's gentleman." Gorgeously illustrated, this comprehensive volume is the most thorough examination of van Dyck's years in Britain to date, and investigates the intriguing ways in which van Dyck influenced British art and culture in the centuries following his death. Well-known contributors include scholars and art historians Christopher Brown, Diana Dethloff, Emilie Gordenker, Kevin M. Sharpe, Susan Sloman, and Aileen Ribero.

Book Description gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Der flämische Barockmaler Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641) kam 1620 auf Veranlassung von König James erstmals nach Großbritannien. Als James 1625 starb, erkannte sein Nachfolger Charles I. die Fähigkeit von van Dyck, das »königliche Bild« zu erfassen. Nach einem Aufenthalt in Italien kehrte der Maler 1632 nach England zurück, wurde kurz danach zum Ritter geschlagen und mit Eigentum und einer Rente ausgestattet sowie zum Hauptmaler des Hofes ernannt. Eingebettet in eine zurückhaltende Autorität und entspannte Eleganz waren Van Dycks Porträts der königlichen Familie auf Anhieb ein Erfolg. Karl I. wurde sowohl als mächtiger Herrscher als auch als »Herr der Natur« dargestellt. Dieser umfassende Band stellt die bislang gründlichste Untersuchung der Jahre Van Dycks in Großbritannien dar und untersucht die faszinierende Art und Weise, wie Van Dyck die britische Kunst und Kultur in den Jahrhunderten nach seinem Tod beeinflusst hat. Zu den namhaften Mitwirkenden gehören die Wissenschaftler und Kunsthistoriker Christopher Brown, Diana Dethloff, Emilie Gordenker, Kevin M. Sharpe, Susan Sloman und Aileen Ribero.
