EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Anthony van Dyck" a renowned Flemish Baroque artist who rose to prominence as the leading court painter in England from 1599 to 1641. The image, captured by Francesco Grado in the 18th century, beautifully captures Van Dyck's self-portrait, known as "Imitatio Sapiens". In this exquisite portrait, Van Dyck is depicted wearing an elaborate lace collar and a doublet with buttoned shoulders. The oval frame surrounding him is adorned with elegant ribbons and festoons, adding a touch of grandeur to the composition. A vignette featuring Ananke, the Greek goddess of necessity and fate, holding a spindle further enhances the artistic depth. Francesco de Grado skillfully engraved this copperplate masterpiece based on Van Dyck's original self-portrait. De Grado was an esteemed Italian engraver active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The portrait itself exudes elegance and sophistication while capturing Van Dyck's distinctive style that made him famous among European aristocracy. His talent for capturing human expression and his ability to infuse life into his subjects are evident in every brushstroke. This remarkable print not only pays homage to Sir Anthony van Dyck but also serves as a testament to his lasting impact on art history. It allows us to appreciate his contribution as one of Europe's most celebrated painters during the Baroque period.
