As King Charles I’s painter, Van Dyck transformed British portraiture by introducing a new style from Continental Europe. He imbued his sitters with grace and confidence, and his influence endured for centuries. Made prior to the English Civil War in 1642, this portrait presents the Earl of Newport prepared for battle, his helmet and baton of command by his side. He was a favorite courtier of the king, who bestowed honors and lucrative offices upon him, including the Master of the Ordnance. This high-ranking position gave the earl control of the contracts for supplies and defenses, and provided him with ample opportunities for personal gain. However, his self-serving nature led to widespread distrust and, ultimately, to his political demise. Gallery label for installation of YCBA collection, 2025
