Anthony Van Dyck - Overflow

Round 9: Tossup 17

A portrait by this artist shows its main figure on horseback next to the French riding master Pierre Antoine Bourdon, Seigneur de St Antoine. A medallion showing this artist’s major patron is concealed by a shirt sleeve (10[1])and hangs from a golden chain in this artist’s Self-Portrait with a Sunflower. After his teacher refused to buy it, this artist sold his depiction of Christ’s Crowning With Thorns to Philip IV of Spain. Each subject wears the blue ribbon of the Order of the Garter in a triple portrait by this artist that Bernini used as a reference for a bronze bust. A painting by this artist was termed the “great peece” and depicts a monkey climbing on Sir Jeffrey Hudson next to Henrietta Maria of France. For 10 points, name this Baroque artist from Antwerp whose portraiture was patronized by Charles I. ■END■ (10[1]0[4])
