Princess Louise Hollandine of the Palatinate (Dutch, 1622–1709) • Self-Portrait • 1650

As a painter, the princess is considered an "amateur". The portraits she painted are often in the Baroque style of Honthorst, but there are exceptions, which were likely not commissioned. Her works were generally kept within her family, and some can now be found in German museums. – Wikipedia

Stepping into the footsteps of a larger-than-life teacher can be challenging if not crushing: this way or similar must Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641) have felt in Antwerp where his teacher and collaborator Peter Paul Rubens dominated. Consequently, Van Dyck soon left Antwerp in order to elsewhere make a reputation for himself: in the ensuing decades he established himself in Palermo, Genoa, Flanders, Den Haag, Paris and London, gaining renown as one of Baroque’s most important portraitist. In line with his quickly rising star, aristocrats and royalty commissioned him for portraits that were uniquely different: having studied the great Italian portraitist, and Titian in particular, Van Dyck added unprecedented drama and dynamism to his paintings, characteristics that literally gained him hundreds of commissions all over Europe. Driven by an insatiable hunger for work, Van Dyck exploited both his talent and health.

Currently and up until July 19 the Palazzo Ducale di Genova devotes a comprehensive monographic exhibition to the painter: comprising over 50 of his autographed paintings „Van Dyck, the European“ follows his different career stages with a particular focus on his mobility, open-mindedness and ability to cross cultural as well as geographical borders. The exhibition is accompanied by the present eponymous catalogue, published by Hannibal Books and written by curators Anna Orlando & Katlijne Van der Stighelen, that merges new findings on the artist, a comprehensive overview of his career in different parts of Europe and crisp reproductions of the works included in the exhibition. The new findings concern his travels to and in Italy whose chronology, thanks to Anna Orlando’s research, is now much clearer and allows for more precise dating of many of his works. In addition, the different essays in the book explore the cultural climates Van Dyck had to deal with and accommodate to, bearing in mind that he came from a humble background, as well as the 17th century’s crisis-proneness.

In view of its comprehensiveness, „Van Dyck, the European“ is a wonderful and highly readable way to take to deep dive into the artist’s life and times.
