Van Dyck se acostumbró pronto al estilo de vida suntuoso de Rubens, y cuando viajó a Italia con unas cartas de presentación de su maestro, vivió en los palacios de sus mecenas, adoptando para sí una ostentación tan elegante que llegó a conocérsele como “el pintor caballero”. Después de su regreso a Amberes, sus mecenas fueron personas ricas y de la clase noble, y su propio estilo de vida se moldeó de acuerdo con el de ellos; de este modo, cuando en 1632 recibió la designación de pintor de la corte de Carlos I de Inglaterra, mantuvo un establecimiento casi principesco y su casa en Blackfriars era el lugar de moda. Pasó los últimos dos años de su vida viajando por el continente con su joven esposa, la hija de Lord Gowry. Su salud se había deteriorado por sus excesos de trabajo y volvió a Londres para morir. Fue inhumado en la catedral de San Pablo. Van Dyck trató de amalgamar las influencias de Italia (Tiziano, Veronese, Bellini) y Flandes y tuvo éxito en algunas pinturas que tienen una gracia conmovedora, como sus diferentes obras con los mismos títulos como Madona y la Sagrada Familia, Crucifixión y Descenso de la cruz, y también en algunas de sus composiciones mitológicas. En su juventud pintó muchos retablos llenos de sensibilidad religiosa y entusiasmo. Sin embargo, alcanzó una mayor fama como retratista, el más elegante y aristocrático jamás conocido. El gran Retrato de Carlos I en el Louvre es un trabajo único por su majestuosa elegancia. En sus retratos inventó un estilo de elegancia y refinamiento que se convirtió en un modelo para los artistas de los siglos XVII y XVIII, ya que correspondía al esmerado lujo de la vida en la corte del periodo. También es considerado como uno de los más grandes artistas del color. Digital Content>E-books>Art,Design & Photography>Artists>Artists, Parkstone International Digital >16<

eBooks, eBook Download (PDF), Auflage, Van Dyck was accustomed early to Rubens' sumptuous lifestyle; and, when he visited Italy with letters of introduction from his master, lived in the palaces of his patrons, himself adopting such an elegant ostentation that he was spoken of as 'the Cavalier Painter'. After his return to Antwerp his patrons belonged to the rich and noble class, and his own style of living was modelled on theirs; so that, when in 1632 he received the appointment of court painter to Charles I of England, he maintained an almost princely establishment, and his house at Blackfriars was a resort of fashion. The last two years of his life were spent travelling on the Continent with his young wife, the daughter of Lord Gowry. His health, however, had been broken by the excesses of work, and he returned to London to die. He was buried at St. Paul's Cathedral. Van Dyck tried to amalgamate the influences of Italy (Titian, Veronese, Bellini) and Flanders and he succeeded in some paintings, which have a touching grace, notably in his Madonnas and Holy Families, his Crucifixions and Depositions from the Cross, and also in some of his mythological compositions. In his younger days he painted many altarpieces full of sensitive religious feeling and enthusiasm. However, his main glory was as a portraitist, the most elegant and aristocratic ever known. The great Portrait of Charles I in the Louvre is a work unique for its sovereign elegance. In his portraits, he invented a style of elegance and refinement which became a model for the artists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, corresponding as it did to the genteel luxury of the court life of the period. He is also considered one of the greatest colourists in the history of art. [PU: Confidential Concepts], Seiten: 160, Confidential Concepts, 2011<
