The picture shows King Charles I of England in three perspectives. Images of the king differ in the color of the costume and the pattern of the lace of the collar, but the blue ribbon of the Order of the Garter is present in each of them [1] .
The portrait was created for later sending to Rome, where according to it the Italian sculptor Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini had to carve the king’s bust . In 1638, Pope Urban VIII sent a sculpture to Queen Henriette Maria in the hope that it would contribute to the reconciliation of the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of England [2] . At the court noted the skill and similarity of the bust of authorship of Bernini with the king; Queen Henrietta Maria subsequently ordered her sculpture, but because of the civil war, the order was never executed. After the revolution, the bust of Charles I was sold, after he returned to the Royal Collection, but was destroyed during a fire in the Whitehall Palace in 1698.
The picture remained with Bernini and was inherited by his family; around 1802, the British collector William Buchanan purchased it from the descendants of the sculptor. In 1822, the painting was bought to supplement the collection of the Royal Collection , now the portrait is exhibited at Windsor Castle .
Presumably the picture was created under the influence of a triple portrait by Lorenzo Lotto in 1530 [1] . In turn, the portrait of Charles I Van Dyck could influence the creation of “The Portrait of Cardinal Richelieu” by Philippe de Champagne (1642) and the “Rosa Triplex” by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1874) [3] .
Subsequently, many copies of the portrait were created, one, created around 1750, is stored in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum [4] .
