Van Dyck Undressed

Sir Anthony Van Dyck, royal painter to King Charles I, was the first artist to make the English glamorous and sophisticated. Four hundred years after his birth, and with the largest exhibition of his work in 100 years opening on 11 September at London's Royal Academy, Omnibus examines how he transformed portraiture from stiff formality to suggestive and sensuous beauty. Director: Louise Hooper
