This two-volume scholarly publication studies the so-called Antwerp Sketchbook associated with the Flemish Baroque painter Anthony van Dyck. The work reproduces and analyzes a large group of drawings traditionally linked to the young Van Dyck during his early period in Antwerp. Through detailed commentary and high-quality reproductions, Michaël Jaffé examines the artistic context of the sketches, their stylistic characteristics, and their relation to the workshop of Peter Paul Rubens and the development of Van Dyck’s early career. The publication provides important documentation for the study of Flemish Baroque drawing and Van Dyck’s formative artistic years.
