Antonio de Tassis (1584-1651) lost his left arm in the army of the Spanish Netherlands against the States General. He later turned to the spiritual life, and took holy orders in 1629. He is depicted as a canon in Antwerp Cathedral, where he worked from 1630 on. His missing arm is concealed by his wide garment, the right hand is holding a book. The light brings his right eye into the foreground. De Tassis left an art collection when he died in 1651. His portrait was engraved in the 1656 "Iconography", which published portraits of major military commanders, rulers, artists and clerics based on work by van Dyck.
