About the piece
Painted in 1636 by Anthony van Dyck, this monumental equestrian portrait depicts King Charles I riding a white horse through a classical triumphal arch. He is accompanied by Monsieur de Saint-Antoine, his equerry, who carries the king's helmet. Van Dyck uses a low perspective and grand architectural elements to emphasize the king's divine right and authority, rendered with the luminous texture characteristic of his late period.
