Abstract


The Equestrian Portrait of Charles I of England, coming from the Spanish royal collections and in the Prado Museum since the 19th century, has always been considered to be a copy of Van Dyck. It is now possible to demonstrate the authenticity of this work, the dimensions, quality and technique of which are identical to the Van Dyck in the National Gallery. The author studies the Madrid autograph replica stylistically and through the use of documentary materials ranging in date from 1650 to 1727. In 1654, when it was in Summerset Palace, the Prado version was considered to be “the best by Van Dyck,” and through this study the work is returned to his hand.
