"Charles I on Horseback" is a celebrated equestrian portrait of Charles I of England by the Flemish painter Sir Anthony van Dyck. Painted between 1637 and 1638, the work is renowned for its regal representation of the monarch and is considered one of the finest examples of Van Dyck's portraiture and his mastery in capturing the dignity and elegance of his subjects.

The painting depicts Charles I as a figure of noble stature and calm authority, mounted on a horse, which is led by a groom. The king is portrayed in profile, turning slightly to face the viewer, exuding a sense of serene command. He is dressed in armor with a sash of the Order of the Garter, reinforcing his royal status and chivalric virtues. The landscape in the background, while subdued, complements the king's grandeur with naturalistic details that were characteristic of Van Dyck's style.

Van Dyck, who was appointed as the principal court painter to Charles I, had a significant influence on British portraiture. His depictions of the king and the royal family helped shape the image of the monarchy during a turbulent period in English history. "Charles I on Horseback" is particularly noted for its influence on the genre of equestrian portraiture, setting a precedent for the representation of sovereigns and nobility in Western art.

This painting, along with other works by Van Dyck, contributed to the romanticized vision of Charles I's reign, which was marked by political strife that ultimately led to the English Civil War and the king's execution in 1649. Today, "Charles I on Horseback" is held in high esteem both as a work of art and as a historical document, offering insight into the cultural and political milieu of 17th-century England. The painting is housed in the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
