This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a full beard and ruffled collar. His hands rest on his chest, and his gaze is direct. The lines in the print are sharp, showing every fold in his clothing and wrinkle on his face. The name at the bottom reads "Ioannes Brevgel," but the artist’s signature says it’s by Anthony van Dyck. The Latin text calls him a painter of flowers and landscapes. Look up Baroque next to see how this style shaped art in the 1600s.
