Van Dyck, the European
Van Dyck, the European at Palazzo Ducale Genoa takes visitors through the life and work of Anthony Van Dyck (Antwerp 1599 to London 1641). The exhibition traces his path from his Flemish beginnings, through his time in Genoa, to his breakthrough in London.
With more than fifty paintings drawn from thirty-two museums across twenty-two European cities, the exhibition offers a complete portrait of an artist who navigated courts, ateliers and city life with natural ease, shaping his style to each setting while keeping his vision unmistakably his own.
Among the notable loans are ten works from The Phoebus Foundation, an exceptional selection that situates Van Dyck within the artistic world that shaped him. Included is a work by Rubens, serving as a steady anchor in Van Dyck’s earliest artistic course.
