Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599–1641) is among the greatest portrait painters of all time. The 1990s opened and closed with major exhibitions devoted to his work, and now the long-awaited catalogue raisonné of his painted oeuvre is complete.
A native of Antwerp, Van Dyck also lived and worked for long periods in Italy and England, where his brief, productive life ended. He is best known for his work at the court of Charles I. His full-length portraits of aristocrats in the Caroline court and in Genoa, Antwerp, Brussels, and The Hague influenced the history of Western portraiture into the twentieth century in the work of John Singer Sargent. Handsomely designed and illustrated, the volume includes a reproduction of every known authentic painting by the artist as well as the provenance and the significant facts and literature on each. This catalogue raisonné is, fittingly, the collaborative work of an international team devoted to the study of this major international artist.
Susan J. Barnes, an independent art historian, co-curated a Van Dyck exhibit in Washington, D.C., 1990. Nora De Poorter is director of the Rubenianum, Antwerp. Oliver Millar, Surveyor Emeritus of The Queen’s Pictures, organized an exhibition of Van Dyck’s English work at the National Portrait Gallery, London, 1982–83. Horst Vey, former director of the Kunsthalle, Karlsruhe, is author of the standard work on Van Dyck’s drawings.

Van Dyck is one of my favorite painters and I was looking forward to this updated catalogue raisonne as the previous one published in the mid 80's had a a mere 100 paintings reproduced in color.I was prepared to spend a large sum of money so I could have acess to most of his paintings reproduced in color.This book had the potential to be one of tha great art books.It is beautifully laid out into four different periods and the colour reproductions are of a high standard and the majority are a good size.The major problem with the book is that a paltry 190 out of 900 paintings are reproduced in color.In this era,a catalogue raisonne should have the majority of works in color(take a look at the Velazquez,Soutine,Rothko,Newman and O'Keeffe),B/W reproductions aren't worth a glance.I'm now having second thoughts about buying this even at Amazon's reduced price($135).A major disappointment.

For such a large size book it is very disappointing that there are so few colour images and such as are printed are not on the scale of size that would let the reader revel in the finer detail of Van Dyck's work. It is understandable that the catalogue section of the book was Black & White for reasons of economy, but the preceding pages could have benefited from colour close-ups and full page plates. The book may be useful for a scholar, but it will remain to other books to exemplify the genius of Van Dyck. There is a more affordable and enjoyable option in Christopher Brown's book "Anthony Van Dyck" published by Rizzoli in 1999.
