Margareta de Vos (ca. 1620) by Anthony van DyckThe Frick Collection

'The glass vase of flowers in De Vos's portrait represents one of the most virtuosic passages in all of Van Dyck's work, transmuting bold and unerring strokes of blue and buttery yellow paint into reflections on the surface of the vase.'

Sunset Landscape with a Shepherd and his Flock (c.1620s) by van Dyck, Sir AnthonyDulwich Picture Gallery

'The subject is based on an engraving after Titian and a Titianesque drawing also attributed to Van Dyck, but with equal lack of certainty, at Chatsworth. However, recent conservation has made the attribution to Van Dyck less, rather than more, likely.'

Saint Sebastian Tended by an Angel (Main View)The J. Paul Getty Museum

'Anthony van Dyck painted the subject of Saint Sebastian many times, choosing various moments in the saint's story but never focusing on the one thing that most other artists emphasized: the saint's flesh punctured with arrows. Van Dyck's goal was to explore the subject's emotional possibilities, rather than the physical wounds.'

Van Dyck captures the chubby roundness and rosy colouring of the young princesses' faces offset by their linen caps and the elder sister's pearl necklace.'
