Basic Information
Artistic Appreciation
Painted when Van Dyck was only 19, this work already shows extraordinary talent. Rubens's influence is evident in the dynamic composition and rich color, but Van Dyck's characteristic elegance is already visible in St. Martin's composed gesture. The horse is particularly well-rendered.
St. Martin Dividing his Cloak
Visual Description
[Inferred from Van Dyck Catalog] The painting depicts the young Roman soldier St. Martin on horseback, cutting his red military cloak with a sword to give half to a kneeling, destitute beggar. The walls of Amiens and a dark sky form the background.
