法蘭德斯畫家。範戴克為一個富裕的絲綢商的孩子。十歲開始學畫。早年加入安特衞普畫家公會。在魯本斯的影響下，他的個人風格得到了全面發展。他運用灰性、温暖的色調，在用筆和光線處理上較粗放。1621年來到義大利。在回到安特衞普，接受了大批祭壇畫和肖像畫定貨，還製作了大批銅版肖像畫。1632年來到英國，被英王查理一世指定為宮廷畫師。他畫了大量在英國史上具有重大作用的人物肖像畫。範戴克的藝術成就不僅影響了法蘭德斯、德國和荷蘭的肖像畫家，同時對英國18世紀重要的肖像畫家，特別是根茲博羅和雷諾茲的藝術風格也產生了很大影響。

1599～1641年

Van Dyck, Anthony

Flemish painter. Son of a well-to-do silk merchant, he was apprenticed to an Antwerp painter at 10. He soon came under the influence of Peter Paul Rubens, for his early works are painted in Rubens's melodramatic style, though with darker and warmer color, more abrupt chiaroscuro, and more angular figures. He was a master in the Antwerp artists' guild by 19, at which time he was also working with Rubens. He spent over five years in Italy (1621-27); on his return, he received many commissions for altarpieces and portraits. He also executed works on mythological subjects and was a fine draftsman and etcher, but he is chiefly known for his portraits, in which he idealized his models without sacrificing their individuality. In Britain in 1632, he was appointed court painter by Charles I. He gained a comfortable income from the many portraits he painted in Britain, and his life matched his clients' in luxury. His influence was pervasive and lasting; Flemish, Dutch, and German portraitists imitated his style and technique, and the 18th-century English portraitists, especially Thomas Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds, were deeply indebted to him.
