Wrong Queen? edit
"Queen Charlotte commissioned Bernini to make a companion bust of her but due the intervention of the English Civil War, this was never done."
Should that not be Henrietta Maria, as only Queen Consort Charlotte in England was that of George III.Cloptonson (talk) 16:33, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Charles I in Three Positions is an oil painting of Charles I of England by Flemish artist Anthony Van Dyck. It depicts the King from three viewpoints: left full profile, face on, and right three quarter profile. Painted in 1635 or 1636, it was sent to Rome in 1636 to be used as a reference work for the Italian sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini's marble bust of Charles I. Widely copied, the original stayed with Bernini and his heirs until c. 1802, when it was sold to British art dealer William Buchanan and returned to England. The painting was acquired for the Royal Collection in 1822, and is usually displayed at Windsor Castle.Painting: Anthony van Dyck
