Another masterpiece by Van Diepenbeeck is "The Blessed Henry Suso Kneeling before Eternal Wisdom, " which he painted before 1650. This artwork portrays the spiritual devotion and humility of Saint Henry Suso as he seeks wisdom from above. In "The Family of William Cavendish, Marquess of Newcastle-upon-Tyne" from 1656, Van Diepenbeeck captures the grandeur and unity within this noble family.

This portrait showcases her elegance and grace as she gazes confidently at the viewer.

His ability to convey emotions through paintbrush strokes is truly impressive. Additionally, Van Diepenbeeck explored mythological themes like in "Sleeping Bacchus.
