Description
Description

"This image of Charles I may have been conceived as an official state portrait. It was much copied and was sometimes accompanied by a portrait of the Queen.

The painting contains all the elements of a state portrait: a grand setting, the king shown virtually full-face, motionless and composed, dressed in ermine-lined robes with the orb and sceptre clearly visible. His Van Dyck has aimed to overcome the problem of the King's modest stature, by taking a low vantage point and looking upwards, to increase the illusion of height. There is a pentimento at the base of the column, suggesting the position of the crown may have been slightly lowered.

The portrait was painted for the King, possibly to form part of the royal family portrait gallery in the Cross Gallery at Somerset House. It was sold in 1649, but later restored to the monarchy. Many copies are recorded, both in the full length format as here and in an abbreviated three-quarter length version, as well as separate copies of the head alone."

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1641, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
