Creation History
In 1632, Anthony van Dyck left for England at the invitation of King Charles I , who was passionate about the work of the Dutch artist. In London, he gets his own house, workshop and the title of chief court painter. To work in isolation, the house and workshop were located outside the city limits of those times, in the Blackfriars Pier area on the Thames. A room was specially attached, which was visited by Charles I with a wife and posed for the artist. [3] The “Portrait of Charles I on the Hunt” was acquired in 1775 by the King of France Louis XVI to supplement the Louvre collection. [four]
The plot of the picture
When writing the portrait, Anthony van Dyck departed from the tradition of the image against the background of palaces and rich decoration. The plot for the plot was a slope on the river bank, where Charles I was not dressed in a royal official outfit decorated with jewelry, but in a hunting suit. The monarch stands in a relaxed pose, facing the viewer. A ship is floating in the distance. [5] In general, the portrait was executed in an expressive and lively manner: a relaxed monarch, a carefree servant by the horse, who bowed his head to Charles I. The color for the picture was selected based on a comparison of silver-gray, blue and yellow tones, which dilute red Colour. [6] The king’s figure is highlighted in light color, while the servant is in shadow. Anthony van Dyck departed from the manner of depicting monarchs and famous men in the form of knights in armor and with weapons. On the contrary, the portraits of Charles I and other noble men were made in such a way as to give them the appearance of secular gentlemen, in lush and festive clothes. The image of the monarch against the backdrop of nature was intended to arouse the audience a sense of romance and melancholy emanating from Charles I. [7]
