This lucid and comprehensively illustrated publication by Prof. Hans Vlieghe is the first to focus at length on Anthony van Dyck's religious work, supported by outstandingly photographed details. The artist's unerring ability to capture and convey his subjects' facial expressions is brilliantly highlighted. This was, of course, precisely the aspect of his talent that made him such an outstanding portrait painter - first of the Antwerp bourgeoisie, later of the Italian aristocracy and finally of the Stuart court in England. Text in English, Dutch, French and German. Illustrated
