Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 15.7 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 18.1 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 33.9 × 24.6 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Anthony van Dyck's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 344 × 249 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Prado Museum, Madrid, Spain. Full size guide.

About the Painting

van Dyck's "The Arrest of Christ". What a wild, churning scene the young painter's given us! It's like he's thrown a bunch of angry wasps into a dark jar and shaken it up.

The canvas throbs with movement - bodies twisting, arms flailing. Christ stands calm at the center, a rock in a storm. His face glows with an eerie light, while everything else is shrouded in inky shadows. Clever trick, that.

Van Dyck's gone nuts with the chiaroscuro. Torchlight slashes across faces and bare flesh, turning everything into a dramatic play of light and dark. The colors are rich but muted - lots of earthy browns and deep reds, with flashes of steel and gold.

The composition's a bit of a mess, but I reckon that's the point. It's all chaos and confusion, with bodies piled on bodies. Christ is the still point everything whirls around. His calm stance and upraised hand draw the eye right to him.

You can see Rubens' influence all over this - the muscular bodies, the dramatic lighting. But van Dyck's put his own spin on it. There's a raw energy here, a sense of barely contained violence that feels distinctly his own.

The brush work's loose and energetic - you can almost feel van Dyck's excitement as he painted. He's captured that frenzied night-time atmosphere brilliantly. You can practically hear the shouts and clanking of weapons.

Not bad for a 20-year-old, eh? This painting's like a calling card - "Look what I can do!" It's not subtle, but by God it's effective. Van Dyck was showing off here, and who can blame him? When you've got talent like that, why not flaunt it?
