"Portrait of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham" is a notable oil painting by the Flemish artist Sir Anthony van Dyck, who was a leading court painter in England under King Charles I. The artwork captures George Villiers (1592–1628), a prominent and influential figure in the English court, who rose to become a close friend and supposed favourite of King James I before continuing to wield significant power under his son, Charles I. Villiers was ennobled as the Duke of Buckingham, and his patronage was instrumental in shaping the arts during the period.

Van Dyck's portrait is a testament to the artist's mastery of portraiture, showcasing his ability to convey the sitter's status and character with elegance and psychological insight. The painting is characterized by its refined use of color and light, as well as the graceful depiction of fabrics and textures, which were hallmarks of Van Dyck's portraiture. The Duke is typically portrayed with an air of aristocratic confidence, often adorned in luxurious clothing that reflects his wealth and position at the apex of British society.

The exact date of the painting's creation is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been produced during Van Dyck's tenure as a court painter in the 1620s, a period when he created numerous portraits of the royal family and the nobility. The portrait of Buckingham is considered one of Van Dyck's significant works, as it not only represents the artist's technical skill but also provides historical insight into the personality and visual representation of one of the most enigmatic figures of the early Stuart court.

The painting is held in high esteem by art historians and is often cited in discussions of Van Dyck's influence on British portraiture. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Van Dyck's English period and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its contribution to the cultural history of the era.
