"Portrait of the Princes Palatine Charles-Louis I and his Brother Robert" is a notable oil painting by the Flemish artist Sir Anthony van Dyck, a leading court painter in England under King Charles I. Created in the 17th century, this artwork captures the young Charles Louis, Elector Palatine, and his brother Prince Rupert of the Rhine, during a period of significant political and familial upheaval. The painting is imbued with the Baroque style characteristic of Van Dyck's oeuvre, showcasing his mastery of portraiture and his ability to convey the sitter's status and personality.

The subjects, Charles Louis and Robert, were the nephews of King Charles I of England and grandsons of James I. Their father, Frederick V, Elector Palatine, and mother, Elizabeth Stuart, the sister of King Charles I, were central figures in the early phases of the Thirty Years' War. The painting is historically significant as it represents the princes during their exile in England following their father's brief reign as King of Bohemia and the subsequent loss of the Palatinate.

Van Dyck's portrayal is notable for its depiction of the princes' youth and vulnerability amidst their family's misfortunes, as well as the bond between the brothers. The painting is also an example of Van Dyck's skill in rendering fabrics and textures, seen in the detailed lace collars and the richly colored clothing of the sitters. The composition and the relaxed poses of the figures reflect the influence of Van Dyck's mentor, Peter Paul Rubens, and the naturalism of the Italian Renaissance.

The "Portrait of the Princes Palatine Charles-Louis I and his Brother Robert" remains an important work for the study of Van Dyck's portraiture and the political history of the period. It is also a testament to the cultural exchange between the English and continental European courts of the early modern period. The painting is often discussed in the context of Van Dyck's broader impact on the development of British portraiture and his role in shaping the visual representation of the English monarchy and its relatives.
