About this work

Artist: Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641)
Year: c. 1635
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 266 × 207 cm
Collection: Musée du Louvre, Paris
Movement: Baroque

Charles I has dismounted on a rise above an estuary, a wide-brimmed hat on his head, one hand on a cane and the other on his hip holding his gloves, while a page and the courtier Endymion Porter attend the horse, which bows its head behind him. The king wears a silver satin doublet and red breeches, the dress of a gentleman rather than a monarch, yet the inscription on the rock reads Carolus I Rex Magnae Britanniae and the viewpoint is set low so that the famously short king looks tall. Van Dyck painted it around 1635 as Principal Painter to the king, and Charles paid him 100 pounds for it in 1638, half what the artist asked. The Louvre suggests the setting may be Greenwich Park with the Thames estuary beyond. The picture was in France by the 1730s, and in 1775 Madame du Barry sold it to Louis XVI, whose collection passed to the Louvre.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Charles I at the Hunt in the public domain?

Yes. Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Musée du Louvre.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Charles I at the Hunt painted, and in what medium?

Charles I at the Hunt dates from c. 1635 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 266 × 207 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
