Young General
1622/23 | Anthonis van Dyck
The portrait of an unknown man in splendid armour shows the influence of Venetian painting on van Dyck’s art. Borrowed from the admired masters of the Renaissance are the nobility of the people depicted, the warm, nuanced colouring, the loose, lively movement of the brush as well as the bold light effects and atmospheric use of shading.
