Based on a close study of Van Dyck's Self-portrait with a Sunflower, this book examines the picture's context in the symbolic discourses of the period and in the artist's oeuvre. The portrait is interpreted as a programmatic statement, made in the ambience of the Caroline court after Van Dyck's appointment as 'Principal Painter', of his view of the art of painting. This statement, formulated in appropriately visual terms, characterizes painting as a way of looking and seeing, a mode of vision. In making such a claim, the artist steps aside from the familiar debate about whether painting was a manual or an intellectual discipline, and moves beyond any idea of it as simply a means of representing the external world: the painter's definitive faculty of vision can reach further than those realities which present themselves to the eye. John Peacock analyses the motif of looking - the ways in which figures regard or disregard each other - throughout Van Dyck's work, and the images of the sunflower and the gold chain in this particular portrait, to reveal what is essentially an idealist conception of pictorial art. He contradicts previous opinions that the artist was pedestrian in his thinking, by showing him to be familiar with a range of ideas current in contemporary Europe about painting and the role of the painter.

The city of Antwerp was at one time famous for its commercial and industrial interests, and it was besides an important centre of art. Here in the seventeenth century lived the two foremost Flemish painters, Peter Paul Rubens, and Anthony Van Dyck. The Flemish industries had chiefly to do with the making of beautiful things. Among them were tapestries in rich designs and many colors, used for wall hangings. The Flemish weavers were also skilled in making fabrics of silk and velvet. Most famous of all were their laces, patiently wrought by hand, on pillows, and unrivalled throughout the world for delicacy of workmanship. Glass and porcelain were also among their industrial products. In Antwerp, too, was the printing establishment of Plantin, from which issued many learned works in French and Latin.Among refined people like these, who not only loved beautiful things but could afford to buy them, the art of painting was highly esteemed. There was every encouragement for a young artist to pursue this calling. Rubens was already a great painter when Van Dyck began his art studies, and the older man gave the younger much helpful advice. At his friend's suggestion Van Dyck travelled several years in Italy, where he was inspired by the works of the Italian masters of the preceding century. Returning at length to his native city, he set up a studio of his own, and soon became a favorite portrait painter among the rich and fashionable classes. Not a few of his sitters were foreign sojourners in the Netherlands, especially the English. The lady of our illustration is quite plainly of this nationality, though she is dressed according to the Flemish modes.It appears that an English merchant named Wake was established in Antwerp at this time, and it is supposed that this may be his daughter. There are also reasons for connecting the portrait with one of a certain English baronet named Sheffield, who was likewise in Belgium in this period. Miss Anna Wake, we may conclude, had married into the Sheffield family when this portrait was painted. These names, however, are mere guesses, and, even if they were verified, would tell us no more of the lady's story than we can gather from the picture. Her life was probably not of the eventful kind which passes into history. The luxuries of her surroundings we may judge from her rich dress and jewels; the sweetness of her character is written in her face.She shows us perhaps more of her inner life than she intends. Her fine reserve would naturally shrink from any sort of familiarity. Yet as she stands quietly before the portrait painter, left, as it were, to the solitude of her own thoughts, her spirit seems to look out of the candid eyes.

On the occasion of the 400th anniversary of van Dyck's birth this original new book takes a close look at all aspects of the master's techniques, his subject matter from highly stylized royal portraits to sketches of a beloved dog, and the astonishing modernity of his watercolor landscapes. Through a selection of outstanding paintings and a wide variety of ink and chalk drawings -- several published here for the first time -- Jonathan Glancey's challenging and accessible text explores the relationship of the painter with the different media, and with the artistic conventions of his time. A substantial biography places van Dyck in his historical context and completes a fresh, unorthodox view of this familiar and well-loved artist. Lavishly illustrated in color with numerous details this work casts new light on the image of a painter whose true identity has often been concealed behind the codification of his commissioned oil paintings.

Sir Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641) created the image of the doomed court of Charles I that we immediately recognize today: the King as melancholy warrior-knight, surrounded by courtiers. In Van Dyck, Charles saw the Venetian artist reborn. By tempting Van Dyck to London on terms that were unprecedented in the history of royal patronage, the King brought English painting, which had scarcely been touched by the Renaissance, into the mainstream of the European Baroque. The first serious, comprehensive survey of Van Dyck since 1900, this book deals with the social and political structure of early seventeenth-century Flanders, Italy, and England, as well as with the artistic background. It is a timely and important work, with over 230 illustrations, 37 of them in color. -- From publisher's description.
