Van Dyck At The Wallace Collection By Jo Hedley

‘True art is what does not seem to be art; and the most important thing is to conceal it, because if it is revealed this discredits a man completely and ruins his reputation’ – Castiglione, The Book of the Courtier

This book profiles Van Dyck at the Wallace Collection, with a focused on eight pictures, including ‘The Shepherd Paris’, ‘Philippe Le Roy’ and ‘Marie de Raet’, while also discovering a wealth of biographical details and enriching our understanding of them as enduring works of art. Alongside pieces from the Wallace Collection, this book also looks at paintings from The Ashmolean Museum, The British Library and The Fitzwilliam Museum.
