"Charles I" is a series of portraits of Charles I of England painted by the Flemish Baroque artist Sir Anthony van Dyck, who became the leading court painter in England under Charles's patronage. Van Dyck's depictions of the king are considered some of the most iconic and influential portraits of British royalty, capturing the majesty and troubled reign of the monarch who would eventually be executed in 1649 following the English Civil War.

The most famous of these portraits is perhaps the "Charles I in Three Positions" (also known as "Triple Portrait of Charles I"), painted in 1635-1636. This work shows the king from three angles: left profile, full face, and right profile. The painting was intended to be sent to the sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini in Rome, who would use it to create a marble bust of Charles I. The triple portrait exemplifies Van Dyck's mastery of elegance and his ability to convey royal dignity, as well as his skill in handling different perspectives within a single work.

Van Dyck's portraits of Charles I are characterized by their refined style and the use of rich colors, as well as the portrayal of the king as a dignified and sovereign figure, often with the regalia of his office or in the setting of his royal estates. These paintings not only served as a form of royal propaganda but also helped to define the visual representation of monarchy in England and influenced portraiture in the broader European context.

The portraits of Charles I by Van Dyck are held in various collections, including the Royal Collection, the National Gallery in London, and the Louvre in Paris. They continue to be celebrated for their artistic excellence and historical significance, offering insight into the relationship between art and power during a pivotal period in British history.
