1634
ink
From the collection of Rosenwald Collection
Jan Bruegel the Elder is a 1634 ink by Anthony van Dyck, a Baroque work, held at Rosenwald Collection.
This sketch shows a bearded man in a ruff collar, adjusting his cuff. His hands are large, his face serious. The lines are loose and quick, like a hurried drawing. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch into metal, then inked it—this is called etching. The dark lines pop against the pale background. Next, check out etching to see how this technique works.
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.
