Anthony van Dyck
Lady with a Fan
From $100
This painting is red, blue, gold and white, and a cheap copy muddies the colours. Our van Dyck Hermann Joseph print was graded from a high-resolution master so the white habit and the gold wings keep their light.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
16x20 inch, 24x30 inch, 32x40 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its tall shape suits a study, a hallway or a living room wall. The reds and blues look rich with cream, slate and walnut, and a gold or dark walnut frame suits it.
About the painting
The Vision of the Blessed Hermann Joseph by Anthony van Dyck
Hermann Joseph
Hermann Joseph was a canon from near Cologne in the twelfth century, devoted to the Virgin Mary. Legend says that in a vision he was joined to her in a mystic marriage, and took the name Joseph.
For the Jesuits
Van Dyck painted it in 1629 to 1630 for a chapel in the Jesuit church in Antwerp, for a Jesuit brotherhood he had joined in 1628, soon after coming home from eight years in Italy.
Vienna
It shows the influence of Rubens and of the Antwerp painter Gerard Seghers. It hangs in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
Read the story
A young man in a white habit kneels, and the Virgin Mary, in red and blue, leans down and takes his hand. An angel in gold looks on.
He is Hermann Joseph, a canon who lived near Cologne in the twelfth century, devoted to the Virgin. The legend says that in a vision she took him as her spouse, in a mystic marriage, and he was given the name Joseph.
Anthony van Dyck painted it in 1629 and 1630, for a chapel in the Jesuit church in Antwerp.
He had just come home after eight years in Italy, and in 1628 he had joined the Jesuits' brotherhood of laymen in Antwerp. They commissioned this picture.
Experts see in it the influence of Rubens, and of another Antwerp painter, Gerard Seghers.
Look at the white habit, painted in broad strokes of white and grey, against the rich red and blue of the Virgin.
It hangs in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.
Look at the two hands meeting.
The Vision of the Blessed Hermann Joseph. Anthony van Dyck, 1629 to 1630.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
