Title: PORTRET OF JOHANNES I GANSACKER Aristocratic Ambitions of a Diamond Cutter and the young Antoon Van Dyck (1599-1641)
Description: Phoebus Focus XXXIII, 2023 PB+, 210 x 148 mm, 112 p, EN edition, New, ill. in colour / b/w, ISBN 9789464666540. ¶ This Phoebus Focus tells the extraordinary story of the man who can be identified for the first time again as Johannes I Gansacker (1592-1664) and the remarkable history of his portrait. It makes it possible to identify Gansacker as one of the many young, ambitious entrepreneurs in seventeenth-century Antwerp. A self-made social climber who was only too happy to be portrayed at the start of that climb by a painter with exactly the same ambitions as him, namely Antoon Van Dyck.
