| Anthony van Dyck Self-portrait etching c. 1630 |
The present-day location of this group of works by Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641) is New York City. The Metropolitan Museum was ultimately the chief of all beneficiaries when the great migration of European art to the New World occurred – during the first wave of omnivorous American Tycoonism – at the end of the nineteenth century.
The 'study heads' and 'studio exemplar' at the beginning of this group were less finished, more spontaneous oils executed by van Dyck from live models and then kept in the studio as reference figures for his own use and the use of his assistants when painting more finished pictures for the market.
