In the latest issue of Seventeenth-Century News (64:3&4), Maureen E. Mulvihill reviews the Van Dyck catalogue raisonné edited by Susan J. Barnes, Nora De Poorter, Oliver Millar, and Horst Vey. Only recently, she writes, “have art historians been in place to confidently compile a ‘complete’ catalogue raisonné of Van Dyck’s paintings. This handsomely produced catalogue, flawlessly printed in Singapore and assembled in a stunning large-format volume for the Paul Mellon Centre and Yale University Press by an international team of four distinguished art historians, is a monumental achievement on the life and career of a famous, international artist, second only in mastery and reputation to Peter Paul Rubens … The new Van Dyck catalogue is a dazzling achievement.”
