Anthony van Dyck Petrus de Ioden (Pierre Jode), c. 1641; A wonderfully detailed and charismatic portrait, this exquisite work illustrates the technical mastery and artistic vision of Van Dyck. Petrus de Ioden's stately yet approachable expression reflects Van Dyck's refined ability to comfort and relax his subjects, resulting in a realistic and acute portrait. Vorsterman depicts de Ioden in a three quarter view against a simple background. He utilizes strong contrasting vertical and horizontal lines and bold tonal contrasts to convey a sense of depth and perspective within this work. De Ioden's hands, in particular, appear large and masculine, yet they gently grip his cloak, implying a hint of tenderness amidst his powerful demeanor.
