FLEMISH SCHOOL 17th CENTURY, FOLLOWER OF ANTHONY VAN DYCK, PORTRAIT OF GASPARD DE CRAYER (1584-1669), BUST-LENGTH, EN GRISAILLE, OIL ON PANEL, TRACES OF AN INSCRIPTION

This portrait of Gaspar de Crayer (1584-1669), a painter known for his many counter-reformist altarpieces and portraits, is based on an engraving by Paulus Pontius (1603-1658) after a model by Sir Antony van Dyck (1599-1641). The original version of the engraving, published between 1630 and 1645, is in the opposite direction. It was intended for a major undertaking of van Dyck’s, who decided to publish a work containing portraits of the great men of his time. Unfortunately, the artist died before he could complete the project.
