ABOUT THE ARTIST
Sir Anthony van Dyck (Dutch pronunciation: [v?n 'd????k], many variant spellings;[1] 22 March 1599 � 9 December 1641) was a Flemish Baroque artist who became the leading court painter in England. He is most famous for his portraits of Charles I of England and his family and court, painted with a relaxed elegance that was to be the dominant influence on English portrait-painting for the next 150 years.
Antoon van Dyck (his Flemish name) was born to prosperous parents in Antwerp. His talent was evident very early, and he was studying painting with Hendrick van Balen by 1609, and became an independent painter around 1615, setting up a workshop with his even younger friend Jan Brueghel the Younger.[2] By the age of fifteen he was already a highly accomplished artist, as his Self-portrait.
