Description: | RU stamped in ink b.r. "A de P"; inscr. in C18th v. "NI & L" CRE ROMNEY, George; (English; 1734-1802) Until identified by Yvonne Dixon, described as Lady Macbeth sleepwalking. As its arched top suggests, this drawing was probably made in connection with a commission for an altarpiece for the Chapel of King's College, Cambridge, which Romney never carried out. It illustrates the Christian hymn "Stabat Mater Dolorosa..." in which the Virgin Mary is described standing as she mourns her son Jesus on the cross. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | VIRGIN MARY : COMPOSITIONAL STUDY : CRUCIFIXION : ALTARPIECE : CAMBRIDGE, KING'S COLLEGE CHAPEL : MOURNING : RUBENS TO MACKINTOSH : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
