🖼 Portrait of a Genoese Nobleman, 1624
Oil on canvas
131 × 101 cm

Aristocratic bearing emerges from shadow, rendered in van Dyck's fluid brushwork with rich burgundy and gold tones. The Genoese nobleman's confident pose and refined costume exemplify 1620s Flemish portraiture's influence on European court culture.
