58 works across 7 institutions
London holds 58 works by Anthony van Dyck across 7 institutions, including National Gallery, Dulwich Picture Gallery, and 5 other venues.
Van Dyck transformed portrait painting and defined aristocratic self-presentation for a century. In person, his portraits have a psychological acuity that reproduction tends to reduce to mere elegance — the slight unease in a sitter's gaze, the way a hand is held.
