Portret van Anna Wake

Omschrijving

© Mauritshuis

In 1627 liet de Antwerpse lakenkoopman Peeter Stevens zich portretteren door Anthony van Dyck. Toen Stevens een jaar later trouwde, gaf hij Van Dyck de opdracht om ook dit portret van Anna te maken. Anna hangt links, zodat ze niet met haar rug naar Peeter staat. Maar eigenlijk schreven de regels van het huwelijksportret voor dat de man links en de vrouw rechts hing.

In 1627, the Antwerp cloth merchant Peeter Stevens had his portrait painted by Anthony van Dyck. When Stevens got married a year later, he commissioned Van Dyck to paint this portrait of Anna as well. Anna was placed on the left, so that she did not have her back turned to Peeter. But actually convention dictated that the man should hang on the left and the woman on the right. After Rubens, Van Dyck was the most important portraitist of his day. He was popular because he made his patrons look just a bit more beautiful and elegant than they really were.
