Anton van dyck In 1632 Van Dyck travelled again to London, and soon after his arrival he was knighted and appointed chief court painter to Charles I. During the years 1632¿1633 he painted the King and Queen on various occasions, as well as different members of the court of Stuart. In 1634, back in Antwerp, he was appointed honorary dean of the painters¿ guild of St. Luke. Van Dyck returned to London in 1635 and made, among other works, a portrait of the King in three different positions to serve as a guide for the sculptor Bernini. Van Dyck remained in England for several years and in 1639 he married Mary Ruthven, one of the Queen¿s ladies-in-waiting. Nevertheless, stylistic and financial disagreements with Charles I turned his attention to the continent. In 1640, after the death of Rubens, he returned to Antwerp. His arrival coincided with the publication of the first edition of prints of his most famous portraits of princes and statesmen, philosophers and artists, made by Martin van Enden
