Anthony (Anthonis) van Dyck (1599 Antwerp - 1641 Blackfriars/London) attr; Portrait of St. Mary Magdalene This portrait focuses on the head of Mary Magdalene, who is gazing upwards towards heaven and grasping a strand of her long, wavy red hair with her left hand. The work is painted with the soft melting colors and light characteristic of van Dyck's portraits as well as a subtly modeling chiaroscuro that envelops the figure. According to the expertise of Prof. Dr. Gustav Glück, it is a work "from his mature period, around 1630". Van Dyck, who was already working as an independent and recognized master in Antwerp at the age of 19 and was registered as a Freemaster of the Guild of St. Luke there in 1618, devoted himself to the theme of the penitent Mary Magdalene in a larger series of paintings and drawings. This took place during his collaboration with Peter Paul Rubens in Antwerp in 1617-1620, who described him as his "best pupil" in 1618. The motif can also be found repeatedly in van Dyck's later oeuvre, both as a head and in larger depictions as half and full-length figures. Oil on canvas, mounted on wood panel. 42.5 cm x 34.5 cm. Ebonized 17th century flambeau frame, probably original. Enclosed: Expertise by Professor Dr. Gustav Glück, Liechtenstein Gallery, Vienna, 24.09.1934. The Austrian art historian Gustav Glück (1871 Vienna - 1952 Santa Monica/California) was head of the Picture Gallery of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna from 1911-1931 until his retirement and was appointed Privy Court Councillor. After the "Anschluss" of Austria in 1938, he was forced to emigrate to the USA. He wrote extensively on Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony Van Dyck in several publications. Provenance: Auction Kastern, Hanover, 29.03.2001, lot 13; German private collection. Attributed to Anthony (Anthonis) van Dyck (1599 - 1641). Oil on canvas, laid down on panel. Probably original frame. Accompanied by an expertise from Prof. Dr. Gustav Glück, Vienna, 24th of September 1934.
