The Musée du Louvre houses the most famous portrait of an English king: the Portrait of Charles I of England by Antoon Van Dyck (1599-1641).
Painter of feminine and masculine elegance, favorite of princes, in particular of the Habsburg dynasty, political adroitness as evidenced by an international career at the highest level, Van Dyck was also a great painter of Christian inspiration.
This work, a catalog raisonné of Van Dyck's paintings present at the Louvre Museum, gives the measure of a genius whose rigor, and even artistic asceticism, as much as brilliance are perceptible behind the smallest of his canvases.
The reader will find a detailed study of the master's works visible within the Parisian establishment. Numerous comparative illustrations, capable of suggesting the extent of Van Dyck's visual culture, allow us to approach the art of a painter active between Flanders, Italy and England.
