This lithographic portrait of Gaspar de Crayer, engraved by Paulus Pontius after a painting by Anthony Van Dyck, represents a significant artistic collaboration of the early 17th century. De Crayer himself was a Flemish painter who gained recognition for his religious compositions and portraits. The fact that Van Dyck, another leading Flemish artist of the time, chose to paint him, and that this painting was subsequently engraved by Paulus Pontius, a master engraver, underscores de Crayer's importance in the art world of their era.Try it!
