• Anthony van Dyke (Lucas Van Uffele,
1622). The sitter, a wealthy Flemish ship
owner living in Venice, is surrounded by
props showing his interest in art, music
and celestial navigation.
I also spent time with important figures from
the reigns of three French Kings:
• Phillipe de Champagne (Jean-Baptiste
Colbert, 1655). Colbert was superintendent
of buildings for Louis XIV. He was respon-
sible for the manufacture of the Gobelins
Tapestry and the protection of the arts,
including decorative objects for the royal
residences. He also developed plans for the
Louvre and Versailles.
