About this work

This print shows a man named Henricus Liberti. It’s by Anthony van Dyck, the Flemish Baroque master who painted shiny silk and velvet like nobody else. The print was made in 1766—over a hundred years after van Dyck died. That’s how long it took for someone to engrave his design into a plate and press it onto paper. If you like this kind of print, try the chiaroscuro technique next.
