About Baroque Portraits
Seventeenth-century portraits aimed to show character as well as rank. Frans Hals painted with fast, open strokes, as in "The Laughing Cavalier" (1624) in the Wallace Collection. Anthony van Dyck gave Charles I an easy elegance in "Charles I at the Hunt" (about 1635), now in the Louvre. Diego Velázquez painted Pope Innocent X in 1650 in a portrait of great directness.
Rembrandt used strong light from one side to model faces against dark grounds.
