- Summary:
- The Antwerp Baroque portrait specialist Anthony Van Dyck painted Henricus Liberti in around 1627-1632 as a self-assured and talented musician, who was well aware of his worth. Today, just a handful of Liberti?s musical pieces have been preserved and the archives hardly mention any traces of the life of this Antwerp keyboard virtuoso and composer. We do not even know for sure when and where he was born.00The fact that the musician was not forgotten is largely due to Van Dyck?s magnificent Portrait of Henricus Liberti, which is now part of The Phoebus Foundation?s collection. This Phoebus Focus zooms in on the prestigious history of Van Dyck?s portrait and brings together the details of Liberti?s life and oeuvre. We also focus on the masterly way in which the painter depicted the inspired virtuoso.
