Description: | Signed: yes Description: Little is known about L. Farasyn apart from the fact that he worked in Antwerp. He may have been the father of the more famous Edgard Farasyn who trained in Antwerp and helped to found several artists' groups. The painting is a copy of Rubens' famous work in the Cathedral at Antwerp. Other minor painters in the city made copies of this painting for English visitors. The previous owner, Dr Henry Harrington, was a local collector and print enthusiast who knew Whistler and Sir Francis Seymour Haden. | Subjects: | religion (Descent from the Cross); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Farasyn, L.
