In stock
SKU
WMET0225
This Met x Wendover Art Group design is a reproduction of an original work of art in The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection.
Self-Portrait, from The Iconography
Anthony van Dyck (Flemish, 1599–1641)
Etching; first state of seven; 9 1/2 x 6 1/8 in.; ca. 1640
Bequest of Mary Stillman Harkness, 1950 50.583.4
In this lively self-portrait of about 1640, Van Dyck masterfully etched his turning head with the spontaneity and fluidity found in his drawings, and merely suggested the rest of his body through the deftly placed lines indicating his neck and collar. Together with the other prints in his Iconography, a portrait series portraying approximately 100 famous nobles, scholars, and, especially, artists, Van Dyck’s self-portrait enlivened this established genre with its fresh and original depiction of the sitter.
