Charles I in Three Positions by Van Dyck

Deep, regal colour anchors Charles I in Three Positions by Van Dyck — crimson, mauve and inky black silks set against a soft, stormy grey sky, with crisp white lace catching the light. It is a portrait that lends real depth and warmth to a room.

Painted around 1635 by Sir Anthony Van Dyck, court painter to the English king, the triple study captures Charles I from three angles in one canvas, created so a marble bust could be sculpted from it. Look closely and you can see the melancholy gaze, the famous pointed beard and the shimmer of the silks.

Printed to order in Australia and available as stretched canvas, framed prints, floating frames, fine-art paper or rolled canvas, it makes a striking, characterful piece for a Perth study, dining room or entrance.
