About the piece

Created in 1635 by the Flemish master Anthony van Dyck, this celebrated triple portrait was intended as a guide for the sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The work highlights Van Dyck's virtuosic handling of light and texture, particularly in the shimmering royal silks and the exquisite detail of the King's lace collars, set against an atmospheric sky.
