Painting


The painting was produced in 1635 and measures 119 cm by 127 cm. It is now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.[1]

It is van Dyck's only self-portrait to include another figure, showing Porter's importance in his life. The pair had first met in 1620, during van Dyck's first stay in London. Porter was Charles I of England's main art dealer, negotiating to acquire the vast art collection of the Duke of Mantua and also collecting art for himself. He also knew Peter Paul Rubens and Orazio Gentileschi. Van Dyck presented the double portrait to Porter himself - it was later acquired by Isabella Farnese, who owned it by 1745, and passed from her collection to the Prado.

[it] Autoritratto con Sir Endymion Porter

Questo autoritratto è l'unico di van Dyck in cui l'artista si raffigura con qualcun altro. Questo dimostra quanto van Dyck fosse legato a Endymion Porter, che aveva conosciuto nel 1620, durante il suo primo soggiorno a Londra. Porter era un collaboratore del re ed aiutava il sovrano nell'acquisto di tele di grandi pittori: era stato Porter a concludere l'acquisto della grande collezione d'arte del duca di Mantova da parte di Carlo I. E Porter stesso era un grande appassionato ed un ricco collezionista di opere d'arte. Oltre al rapporto di amicizia con van Dyck, conosceva bene anche Rubens e Orazio Gentileschi.
