Description

FIT FOR A KING: VAN DYCK AT THE COURT OF CHARLES I Speaker: Jacqui Ansell Had Van Dyck not arrived at the Stuart Court, the stiff body language of Jacobean portraiture may never have been enlivened by the introduction of Renaissance values, giving rise to the splendour of Baroque. We explore the way in which Van Dyck’s male sitters exuded elegance, and much more. Image courtesy Wikimedia Commons
