Anthony Van Dyck Figurative Paintings

Flemish, 1599-1641
A three-quarter length portrait of Anne, Lady Russell, later Countess of, Attributed to Sir Anthony Van Dyck. Anne Carr, Lady Russell, an esteemed beauty was clearly a favourite of Sir Anthony Van Dyck. There are six portrait types of Lady Russell listed in Miller, et al. It is tempting to associate the current portrait with the three-quarter length in blue in the Egremont collection at Petworth House (Millar IV.22) because of the similarity of colouring. However, we believe that this picture represents a different portrait type, and most likely derives from a separate sitting. The comparison with the short three-quarter length belonging to the Tokyo Fuji Art Museum, Tokyo (Millar IV.23), is telling. The heads are essentially the same, though the pose and the colouring of the portraits are quite different. The Japanese painting features a rose-red gown and a fawn stole, possibly darker than in this painting. This comparison also illustrates Van Dyck's ability to develop different compositions from a single sitting. Dr. Malcolm Rogers CBE FSA believes this painting to be an unfinished work by the artist: "with, as you might expect, preparatory work by a member of his studio. Especially encouraging is the penumbra of thicker paint around the lady's head which is a recognised feature associated with the artist's ad vivum rendering of heads. My notes do not mention a similar penumbra in the Tokyo painting, though the painting is throughout of very high quality. There are one or two slight pentimenti in the silhouette of the figure of your painting and in the line of her stole, which at one point may have been intended to run over her right wrist. Close examination may reveal more. Some areas of the draperies, especially the linens are not fully realised, and, of course, the background is only roughed in. Millar suggests that the Tokyo painting with its loose gown and protective hands may indicate that the sitter is pregnant. The gown is similarly loose in [this] painting. If she is indeed pregnant this might suggest a date around 1638 or 1639, in which years the first two of her eleven children were born. I cannot explain why the painting was left unfinished, but it is, must be, a distinct possibility that this is the very portrait of Lady Bedford that remained in Van Dyck's studio at the time of his death (see C. Brown and N. Ramsay, 'Van Dyck's Collection: Some New Documents', Burlington Magazine, Vol. 132, pp. 704-9)." Dimensions: 53 1⁄8 in (H) x 43 1⁄4 in (W) Provenance: Picture probably listed in contents of van Dyck’s studio at time of death December 1641 (O. Millar, Van Dyck, A complete catalogue of the paintings, New Haven and London, 2004, under no. IV.23); The most Reverand Dean of Durham, possibly William Lake (1817-1897); Charles Sedelmeyer, 1906, as 'Sir Anthony van Dyck'; Colonel Edward F Simms of Kentucky; H. Kenneth Franzheim; Kenneth Franzheim II; Thence by descent to Sabrina Franzheim (current owner).

Portrait of Francisco de Reynoso y Baeza.   Secretary of Pope Pius V, abbot of Husillos and bishop of Córdoba. Francisci de Reynoso. Early 17th century. Small-format portrait from the late Renaissance period. Spanish school. Size: Cm 19 x Cm 13.5 Oil on wooden panel. On the back the fine tablet is strengthened (already in ancient times) by a sheet of parchment. About 1600-1610. As often in Mannerist / Late Renaissance portraits, the image of the character is accompanied by the writing that runs at the top, adding a celebratory, historicising touch to the effigy. Let's bring back the sentence here: DON FRANCISCO DE REINOSO. CAMARERO SECRETO IESCALCO PIO QUINTO OBISCOPO CORDOBA. 68 (? O 7?) (1534, Autillo de Campos, Spain - 1601, Córdoba) Francisco de Reynoso was a Spanish cleric, chief chamberlain, and secretary to Pope Pius V, abbot of Husillos, and bishop of Córdoba. He was the fourth of eleven children. His father was the seventh Lord of Autillo de Campos, and his mother was Juana de Baeza y de las Casas, daughter of Manuel de Baeza, a lawyer of the Royal Council and at the Court of Valladolid. Francisco de Reynoso was deeply devoted to the Virgin Mary and showed a strong inclination toward religion and piety from an early age. He studied Latin, arts, and theology at the University of Salamanca. In 1562, he traveled to Rome with his brothers Pedro and Luis. In January 1566, following the death of Pope Pius IV, Cardinal Antonio Michele Ghislieri was elected pope, becoming Pius V. From this period until Ghislieri's death in 1572, Francisco de Reynoso served as his chief chamberlain and secretary. After Pope Pius V died, Francisco de Reynoso returned to Spain and lived for several years in the city of Palencia, where his brother Manuel was a canon. He supported the Society of Jesus when it was established in Palencia, providing alms to the school's clergy and funding chairs of Letters and Theology at his own expense, as well as donating a significant number of books. During the brief outbreak of the Black Plague...
