Original Description
The captivating double portrait 2nd Duke of Buckingham (1627-1687), and His Brother Lord Francis Villiers (1629-1648) by Sir Anthony van Dyck epitomizes Baroque aristocratic elegance. Painted around 1635, it showcases van Dyck’s masterful ability to blend opulence with psychological depth. The brothers stand against a soft, atmospheric backdrop, their richly textured silk garments aglow with warm hues of russet and gold. The elder Buckingham, with a poised air of authority, contrasts with the youthful, almost dreamy gaze of Francis—an intimate dynamic frozen in time. As one of van Dyck’s celebrated English period works, this painting not only reflects the Stuart court’s grandeur but also his influence on British portraiture, bridging Flemish precision and fluid brushwork that would inspire generations. Its historical poignancy is heightened by Francis’s untimely death in the Civil War, making the artwork a tender yet monumental tribute.
For display, this masterpiece demands a setting of refined sophistication. Ideal for a dimly lit library or a formal study, its warm tones pair flawlessly with mahogany furniture and gilded accents. Choose a wall with muted, deep hues—navy or burgundy—to let the figures’ luminous skin tones and intricate fabrics stand out. The painting’s typical large scale (approx. 137 x 147 cm) suits above a fireplace or as a focal point opposite tall windows, where natural light enhances van Dyck’s delicate contrasts. Avoid cluttered spaces; instead, complement it with 17th-century-inspired décor—a Baroque mirror or a velvet chaise—to echo its regal harmony. In offices, it conveys legacy and discernment; at home, it becomes a conversation piece bridging art and history.
