Lotto No. 219


Circle of Anthony Van Dyck


Circle of Anthony Van Dyck - Dipinti antichi

(Antwerp 1599–1641 London)
The Virgin and Child,
oil on canvas, 116 x 93.5 cm, framed

The present painting is related to Anthony van Dyck’s Virgin and Child in the Royal Collection, London. The genesis of the composition can be seen in van Dyck’s sketchbook and derives from a Titian composition. The present work repeats the figures against a dark background, with only a delicately rendered halo above Christ’s head.

The Venetian influenced handling of the composition has led scholars to suggest that van Dyck painted the Royal Collection work soon after his return to Antwerp. However, an execution date for that canvas of circa 1630-1632, after van Dyck’s move to Blackfriars has been suggested. The presence of at least six copies of the work recorded in English inventories supports this theory (see S. J. Barnes/ N. de Poorter/O. Millar/H. Vey, Van Dyck, A complete catalogue of the paintings, New Haven 2004, p. 253, fig. III.10).

Erik Larsen considered the present painting to be a replica by the hand of Anthony van Dyck on the basis of photographs and a colour transparency (written communication, in copy, April 1998).
