Excerpt from Van Dyck: A Collection of Fifteen Pictures, and a Portrait of the Painter<br><br>The fame of Van Dyck's portraits has so far over shadowed that of his other works that his sacred pic tures are for the most part unfamiliar to the general pub lic. The illustrations for this little book are equally divided between portraits and subject-pieces, and it is hoped that the selection may give the reader some ade quate notion of the scope of the painter's art.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
