Anthony van Dyck, 1635
For now, just to look at
The photograph we have of this work is not sharp enough to print at the quality we want, so we are not selling it for now. We are looking for a better one.

What the museum label doesn't tell you
Bernini never met Charles I in person: he sculpted the royal bust based solely on this canvas by Van Dyck sent to Rome, and the resulting bust was later destroyed in a palace fire in 1698, so today it is known only through copies and engravings.
