SUMMARY:The Portrait in Britain: The Age of Van Dyck and Lely - GI 26 089
DESCRIPTION:In the early 17th century\, immigrant Flemish artists brought a new realism and sophistication to British portraiture. They included Daniel Mytens\, Peter Lely\, and – most spectacularly – Anthony Van Dyck. The course also covers the civil war and commonwealth period\, including native-born painters William Dobson and the talented miniaturist Samuel Cooper as we explore links between portraiture and 17th century history.
