The genius of Flemish Master Anthony van Dyck illuminated: catalogue to accompany the major exhibition in Genoa.
This exhibition catalogue presents a unique overview of the oeuvre of Anthony Van Dyck (1599–1641), the son of an Antwerp merchant and a pupil of Rubens. A rich selection of portraits and history paintings – ranging from altarpieces to mythological works and allegories – illustrates Van Dyck’s artistic development. Three cities challenged and shaped Anthony Van Dyck: Antwerp, Genoa and London. His portraits of Antwerp citizens, elegant Genoese aristocrats and fashionable courtiers from the circle of Charles I reflect Van Dyck’s exceptional visual language. His paintings evoke early modern Europe in all its complexity in an enchanting and inimitable way.
Published on the occasion of the exhibition Van Dyck, the European at the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa, from 20 march to 19 July 2026.

Katlijne Van der Stighelen (b. 1959) is a prominent Belgian art historian known for her groundbreaking work on forgotten female artists, particularly reviving the legacies of polymath Anna Maria van Schurman and 17th-century painter Michaelina Wautier, for whom she curated the first major exhibition in 2018, leading to reattributions and acquisitions for collections like The Phoebus Foundation.
