However, his real vocation was the art of portraiture. Son of the Antwerp merchant, a man by nature restless, ambitious and extravagant, Van Dyck was attracted to luxury, to the royal court to the life of aristocrats. Characters in his formal portraits of different inner nobility and aristocratic refinement and yet live harakternostyu.Ranny Antwerp during a 10-year old Van Dyck was given to the training of Antwerp to the painter H. van Balen, and in 1618 accepted into the guild of painters St. Luke. Working in the studio of Rubens, he was from 1617 began to cooperate with him in carrying out certain orders, already in his early works sought to move away from direct imitation of the famous teacher and techniques to achieve a more independent pictorial solutions ("Drunken Silenus", approx. 1618-20, Royal Museum Fine Arts, Brussels, Picture Gallery, Dresden; "Samson and Delilah", c. 1620, Pinacoteca Dalvichskogo college, London; "St. Martin and the poor", c. 1620-21, Zaventem, Parish Church, Windsor, royal Castle ) .Portrety early Antwerp period, depicting the noble citizens, their families, artists with their wives and children, marked by strict simplicity, sincerity ("Family Portrait", between 1618 and 1619, the Hermitage; Cornelis van Gest, Antwerp patron, friend and customer of Rubens, ok.1620, National Gallery, London; the painter Frans Snyders and his wife Marguerite de Vos, Frick Collection, New York, Isabella Brant, the wife of Rubens, c. 1620-21, National Gallery, Washington) .Italyansky period in 1621-27 Van Dyck visited Italy.

It creates a brilliant situational portraits, paintings, in which the proud old men, noble gentlemen, slender woman in a heavy, rich dresses with long trains presented at full length on the background of purple drapes and massive columns luxurious palaces of Genoa ("Marquis Ulena Grimaldi", National Gallery, Washington, "Paola Adorno, Marquis Brignole Sale," Frick Collection, New York; "Paola Adorno and his son", National Gallery, Washington; "Equestrian Portrait of Antonio Giulio Brignole Sale" Palazzo Rosso, Genoa; "Marquise Balbiani" Metropolitan -museum; "family Lomellino", National Gallery, Edinburgh; "Old Senator", "old senator's wife", Art Gallery of Berlin-Dahlem) .Vtoroy Antwerp period (1627-1632) during this period, which coincided with the time of the foreign diplomatic activities Rubens Van Dijk almost becomes the first artist in Flanders; He appointed one of the Spanish court painter namestnitsy Isabella. Masterfully executed large altarpieces for different churches and paintings on mythological subjects combine the tradition of Rubens and Titian influence. Canons of baroque compositions sometimes retreating in front of the lyrical plan, are subject to all visual tools ("Rest on the Flight into Egypt", the beginning of the 1630s., Alte Pinakothek, Munich). More decorative written on the same subject paintings from the Hermitage, commonly known as the "Madonna of the Partridges" (early 1630s.). However, in the mature works of Van Dyck's portraits are still present. Among them, the front door image Dowager Archduchess Isabella in the garb of the Order of St. Clara (c. 1628, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna), Hendrik van den Bergh, Field Marshal of the Spanish troops in the Netherlands (c. 1628, Prado), representatives of the noble families of Flanders and Brabant (Portrait of Maria Luisa de Tassis gallery Liechtenstein, Vaduz) dignitaries and burghers, and less showy, but full of natural life portraits of friends and acquaintances, especially fellow artists - Flemish artists Gaspar de Cryer (ibid), Hendrick Snyers (Alte Pinakothek, Munich), Martin Reykarta (Prado), philologist and publisher of Jan van der Wouter (Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow), a Jesuit and geographer Jean Charles de la Faye (1624 Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Brussels).

English period in 1632, at the invitation of King Charles I of Van Dyck went to England, becomes the "master painter in the service of their Majesties' gets a title of nobility, and a gold chain knight. His dreams come true. Shortly before his death, thanks to his marriage to Mary Ruthven, a young maid of honor of the Queen, Van Dijk enters the ranks of the English aristocracy. He wrote many portraits of the king, queen and their children; honor to pose for him all seeking higher obschestvo.V numerous portraits (Philip Wharton, 1632, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Thomas Wharton, the end of the 1630s., Hermitage; George Digby and William Russell, c. 1637, a collection of Spencer, Althorp, Arthur Goodwin , 1639, a collection of the Duke of Devonshire, Derbyshire), recreates the atmosphere of the English court, the high aristocracy of images combined with their emotional sophistication. Originality of design is different portrait of Charles I (c. 1635, Louvre): the principles of the front image revealed here as if easing into a more intimate interpretation, the king is depicted in a landscape in the elegantly casual pose behind a servant holds a thoroughbred horse. Overall, however, a formal portrait of the English period, acquiring the features of a cold representation, external decoration, it appears symbolic and allegorical aksessuary.Po According to the French writer Roger de Peel, "Van Dyke has created an incredible number of portraits, on which at first worked with great care, but little -pomalu began to hurry up and write in a hurry. "Based on the story of a friend of Van Dyck Cologne banker Eberhard Yabaha known that he worked on several portraits, giving the customer a day not more than an hour and leaving the execution of clothing, arms, accessories, background, his pomoschnikam.V Antwerp. The last years of his life during his work at the English court, he twice returned to Antwerp, where he wrote portraits officials received from the Antwerp Guild of the title of "honorary dean", which was previously awarded only Rubens, and after the death of Rubens in 1640 tried to complete his great historical paintings for the Spanish King Philip IV. In his later years Van Dyck was captured ambitious project of large-scale decorative works - a series of tapestries for Whitehall Palace in London, the Louvre paintings main galleries, which made two trips to Paris. However, having failed in these designs, the patient he returned to London, and soon died. According to his will, he was buried in the Cathedral of St. London. Paul. References: Warsaw M.
