Phoebus Focus XXXIII: Portrait of Johannes Gansacker I - Kelchtermans Leen
Aristocratic Ambitions of a Diamond Cutter and the Young Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641)
KORTE INHOUD
"This Phoebus Focus tells the remarkable story of Johannes I Gansacker (1592-1664) and the remarkable history of his portrait. It allows us to interpret Gansacker as one of the many young, ambitious entrepreneurs in seventeenth-century Antwerp. A self-made social climber who was only too happy to be portrayed at the beginning of that climb by a painter with exactly the same ambitions as him, namely Anthony Van Dyck." -- Publisher's website
