Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chambers´s Pocket Miscellany, Vol. 7 A picture has been for the last few years so fruitful a subject of discussion in the Scottish courts of law, and has passed through so many judicial adventures, as they might be termed, that our readers may probably be gratified by receiving in a brief shape a history of the whole affair. On the 30th October 1845, a sale by auction took place in Radley Hall, near Oxford, the house of Mr Benjamin Kent. Among several paintings sold on that occasion, was a half-length portrait of Charles I., supposed to have been by Vandyck, which was purchased by Mr Snare, a bookseller of Reading. On examining his purchase, Mr Snare had reason to believe that the picture was not by Vandyck, but by the great Spanish painter Velasquez, whoso pictures are more rare in this part of Europe. It was not the first time on which it had been doubted whether portraits were by Velasquez or by Vandyck. Both had taken much from Rubens - the latter being his regular pupil; while the Spaniard, a devoted admirer, had received from him much instruction and advice.
