Eau-forte Originale by Sir Anthony Van Dyck refers to a collection of etchings produced by the Flemish Baroque artist Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641), who is best known for his influential portraits of the European aristocracy, particularly those from the English court. The term "eau-forte" is French for "etching," a printmaking technique that involves using acid to etch a design into a metal plate, which is then inked and pressed onto paper to create an image. Van Dyck's foray into etching was part of a broader trend among artists of his time to explore and master various artistic mediums.

Van Dyck's etchings are particularly notable for their expressive lines and the way they capture the character and essence of his subjects, much like his paintings. Although he is primarily celebrated for his painted portraits, his etchings are an important part of his oeuvre, offering insights into his artistic process and his skill in different mediums. The "Eau-forte Originale" series showcases Van Dyck's mastery of etching, demonstrating his ability to translate the subtlety and depth of his portraitures into prints.

The series includes portraits of notable figures of the time, as well as studies of characters and facial expressions, which served both as exercises in technique and as preparatory works for his paintings. These etchings are valued not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance, providing a window into the cultural and social milieu of 17th-century Europe.

Van Dyck's etchings were influential in the development of portrait etching in Europe, inspiring subsequent generations of artists. His approach to etching, characterized by a fluid and confident line, set a new standard for the medium and contributed to the elevation of etching as a respected art form in its own right. The "Eau-forte Originale" by Sir Anthony Van Dyck remains a testament to the artist's versatility, creativity, and enduring impact on the art world.
