From the collection of Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon
Two study heads of apostles is a 1617 oil by Anthony van Dyck, a Flemish Baroque painting work, depicting Man, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This painting shows two men's heads, side by side. They have curly hair and beards. The man on the left looks down, while the man on the right looks up. The men are dressed in simple robes. The background is dark, which makes their faces stand out. The painting uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of depth. Look up more about chiaroscuro.
Sir Anthony van Dyck (; Dutch: Antoon van Dijck ; 22 March 1599 – 9 December 1641) was a Flemish Baroque artist, who became the leading court painter in England after success in the Spanish Netherlands and Italy.
