In 1632 King Charles I invited Van Dyck to his court. The painter installed himself in London and lived in England until his death in 1641.
In his last year Van Dyck married one of the Queen’s ladies in waiting. Her name was Mary Ruthven, she had no dowry although she was the niece of a Scottish Laird.
Her portrait (Museo del Prado, photo Oronoz) is one of the painter’s most penetrating and profound works. When painting his wife, Van Dyck had greater liberty than he had ever had with the many aristocrats he had painted.
In this lady of the court, who had heard William Lawes play, there is humor, intelligence, worldliness and great character.
