While Anthony van Dyck takes centre stage at Tate Britain, this accompanying symposium at Queen Mary, University of London looks afresh at the seventeenth century through the eyes of van Dyck. Tate curator Karen Hearn and other distinguished speakers share research on van Dyck's paintings, English family values, portraiture, the aristocracy and the artist's legacy.

Owing to illness, Professor Kevin Sharpe will not now be speaking.
