Painting
Renowned chiefly for his portraits, Anthony van Dyke was one the most significant Flemish painters of the 17th century. Born in 1599, Van Dyck began his career apprenticing with Hendrick van Balen in 1609, and, later, working as chief assistant to Peter Paul Rubens between 1617–20. Although formally working under Rubens, Van Dyck is said to have been quite precocious, and simultaneously established an independent career as his reputation grew. Accounts of his personality mention his aristocratic manners, which were said to often border on arrogance, as well as his striking good looks, evident in his many self-portraits.
