# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  The seventh child of a wealthy Antwerp silk merchant, Anthony van Dyck painted from childhood and was working in Peter Paul Rubens's studio by his late teens, becoming a master in the Guild of Saint Luke at eighteen. After a brief stint in London in 1621, he spent six years in Italy, mostly in Genoa, then returned to Flanders as court painter to the Archduchess Isabella. In 1632 Charles I summoned him back to London as the main court painter, where he produced the portraits of the king, his family, and their circle that would define English aristocratic portraiture for generations. Along with Velázquez, he was among the first painters of real talent to work primarily as a court portraitist, revolutionising the genre in the process. Charles knighted him, and when he died at forty-two, he was buried in St Paul's Cathedral.
