Artist information: Anton van Dyck, a famous Flemish Baroque artist, is best known for his portraits of Charles I, King of England, Scotland and Ireland. He studied painting at a very early age under Hendrick van Balen and eventually became master pupil of Peter Paul Rubens. He went on to become the leading court painter in England, was ennobled by the King, and dominated portrait painting in that country for the next 150 years thanks to his relaxed elegance and inventive use of watercolours and etching techniques. 'Van Dyck brown' is an oil paint pigment named after him. Apart from portraits, he also painted mythological and biblical subjects, as seen in 'Cupid and Psyche' (1638).
