(After) Anthony Van Dyck
Anthony van Dyck, Engraving Ernest de Mansfeld, c. 1654, Portrait, Iconographie

circa 1654

About the Item

A wonderfully detailed and charismatic portrait, this exquisite work illustrates the technical mastery and artistic vision of Van Dyck. Ernest de Mansfeld's stately yet approachable expression reflects Van Dyck's refined ability to comfort and relax his subjects, resulting in a realistic and acute portrait. Ernest de Mansfeld was a German military commander during the early years of the Thirty Years War. Donning his armor and an ornate, lace collar, de Mansfeld appears as a strong commander. Without a hint of a smile, he calmly gazes out, the definition of cool and collected. Van Dyck accurately captures the sense that de Mansfeld is a man who takes his job seriously, a man worthy of commanding an army in battle. This portrait is a Mauquoy-Hendrickx State II (of II), engraved by Robertus van Voerst in collaboration with Anthony van Dyck (Antwerp, 1559 - London, 1641) as part of his Iconographie series of engraved portraits of famous people at the time. The plate has been marked in the lower left of the plate "Ant. van Dyck pinxcit" and in the lower right of the plate "Robertus van Voerst sculpsit." Beneath the engraved portrait is the inscription: ERNESTO PRINCIPI ET COMITI MANSFELDI?, MARCHIONI CASTELLI-NOVI ET BVTIGLIRI?, BARONI AB HELDRVNGEN GENERALI ETC.
