2 works across 1 institution

Toronto's Art Gallery of Ontario holds 2 works by Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

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.

Planning your visit to Toronto

The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is in the Dundas West area, reached by the Dundas streetcar from downtown. The AGO is free for those under 25. The Aga Khan Museum in the northeast is also outstanding and worth a half-day visit.
