Monday Morning Museum: Anthony Van Dyck




Anthony van Dyck – Thursday 22 March 1599 Antwerp, Belgium to Thursday 9 December 1641 London, England

Flemish Baroque Era Painter


Although I prefer the city with the name of this painting – Paris, 1632 – I can appreciate the depiction of a major character in Greek Mythology.




Last Monday’s Artist – William Lamb Picknell
Next Monday’s Artist – Édouard Manet
