Description: | This representation of an elderly bearded man wearing a long tunic and holding a spade can be associated with the series of paintings of apostles which proliferated in the Netherlands following the success of apostle series by Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony Van Dyck. They followed a tradition established in Netherlandish painting and printmaking. The success of these series can be explained in that they were not only religious images, but also collections of types of male physiognomy and emotional expression that appealed to contemporary collectors. | Subjects: | figure; religion (apostle) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dyck, Anthony van (Flemish painter, 1599-1641, active in England) Æ Attributed to school of Previously attributed to school of Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch painter, draftsman and printmaker, 1606-1669) Previously attributed to Flemish School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9038... | Go to resource |
