Part of Van Dyck's "Iconographie" series, this portrait truly captures the essence of its subject. As a Flemish Baroque painter, Vanloon appears as a charismatic if not somewhat cocky figure, glancing at us sideways and pointing outside of the right border of the composition, as if trying to showcase one of his paintings that lies beyond. |

| Descripción Histórica: | |
| A wonderfully detailed and charismatic portrait, this exquisite work illustrates
the technical mastery and artistic vision of Van Dyck. Théodore Vanloon's
stately yet approachable expression reflects Van Dyck's refined ability to comfort
and relax his subjects, resulting in a realistic and acute portrait. Théodore
Vanloon was a Flemish Baroque painter known as a follower of Caravaggio (1571
- 1610). Van Dyck conveys Vanloon as a man with a distinct personality. Vanloon
glances at us sideways with slightly off kilter eyes, pointing to the right
as if promoting one of his works that lies just beyond the border of the composition.
With his left hand, he reaches down beyond his own portrait near the letters
that spell his name, as if claiming his own portrait for himself. This effect
also contributes a sense of depth and perspective to this work, as we feel that
Vanloon is nearly standing right before us, reaching past a balustrade.

Anthony van Dyck biografía
Sir Anthony van Dyck was a Flemish painter who was one of the most important and prolific portraitists of the 17th century. He is also considered to be one of the most brilliant colorists in the history of art.
Van Dyck was born on March 22, 1599, in Antwerp, son of a rich silk merchant, and his precocious artistic talent was already obvious at age 11, when he was apprenticed to the Flemish historical painter Hendrik van Balen. He was admitted to the Antwerp guild of painters in 1618, before his 19th birthday. He spent the next two years as a member of the workshop of the Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens in Antwerp. Van Dyck's work during this period is in the lush, exuberant style of Rubens, and several paintings attributed to Rubens have since been ascribed to van Dyck.
From 1620 to 1627 van Dyck traveled in Italy, where he was in great demand as a portraitist and where he developed his maturing style. He toned down the Flemish robustness of his early work to concentrate on a more dignified, elegant manner. In his portraits of Italian aristocrats—men on prancing horses, ladies in black gowns—he created idealized figures with proud, erect stances, slender figures, and the famous expressive “van Dyck” hands. Influenced by the great Venetian painters Titian, Paolo Veronese, and Giovanni Bellini, he adopted colors of great richness and jewel-like purity. No other painter of the age surpassed van Dyck at portraying the shimmering whites of satin, the smooth blues of silk, or the rich crimsons of velvet. He was the quintessential painter of aristocracy, and was particularly successful in Genoa. There he showed himself capable of creating brilliantly accurate likenesses of his subjects, while he also developed a repertoire of portrait types that served him well in his later work at the court of Charles I of England.
Back in Antwerp from 1627 to 1632, van Dyck worked as a portraitist and a painter of church pictures. In 1632 he settled in London as chief court painter to King Charles I, who knighted him shortly after his arrival. Van Dyck painted most of the English aristocracy of the time, and his style became lighter and more luminous, with thinner paint and more sparkling highlights in gold and silver. At the same time, his portraits occasionally showed a certain hastiness or superficiality as he hurried to satisfy his flood of commissions. In 1635 van Dyck painted his masterpiece, Charles I in Hunting Dress (Louvre, Paris), a standing figure emphasizing the haughty grace of the monarch.
Van Dyck was one of the most influential 17th-century painters. He set a new style for Flemish art and founded the English school of painting; the portraitists Sir Joshua Reynolds and Thomas Gainsborough of that school were his artistic heirs. He died in London on December 9, 1641.
