A copy of an\u00a0Anthony van Dyck<\/a>\u00a0portrait of Isabella Clara Eugenia that has been hanging for years in the home of an art historian may be the work of the Flemish master. Per a\u00a0report\u00a0in the\u00a0Guardian<\/em>, Christopher Wright, an Old Masters specialist known for discovering overlooked treasures in public and private collections, bought the painting for \u00a365 (around $88) from a London dealer in 1970.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was buying it as a copy, as an art historian,\u201d he told the British outlet. \u201cI took no notice of it, in a strange way.\u201d Now, he is planning to put the piece on display in a public institution. It will be on permanent loan to the Cannon Hall Museum in the village of Cawthorne, Barnsley, which houses a renowned collection of 17th-century Dutch and Flemish paintings.<\/p>\n

The painting, which depicts the infanta of Spain and the regentess of the Spanish Netherlands, caught the attention of one of Wright\u2019s visitors, Colin Harrison, a senior curator of European Art at the Ashmolean Museum<\/a> in Oxford, England. After a close inspection, Harrison suggested there was evidence of van Dyck\u2019s trademarks, in particular his exacting representation of hands.<\/p>\n

The work is believed to have been made between 1628 and 1632, a period when van Dyck worked as the preeminent portraitist to the Spanish and English aristocracy. In 1632, van Dyck moved to London, where King Charles I named him the court\u2019s resident painter and knighted him. His influence as a portrait artist in Europe was immense, and copies of his work proliferated. As a result, debate over the attribution of these works persists today.<\/p>\n

In each copy of the portrait of Isabella Clara Eugenia, she appears in a nun\u2019s habit. The pious dress and gloomy, subdued background convey her period of mourning following the death of her husband, Archduke Albert VII of Austria<\/a>, in 1621. She led the region until her death in 1633, a period considered the Golden Age of the Spanish Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Wright brought the work to the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, where it was examined and restored. The Courtauld\u2019s report, written by Kendall Francis and Timothy McCall, said that numerous such infanta portraits were created by van Dyck and his studio, often making it \u201cvery challenging<\/a>\u201d to determine the principle author of each version. They conclude: \u201cThe adroit skill leads us to tentatively propose that [it] can be attributed to Van Dyck\u2019s workshop and that it was completed during his lifetime and under his supervision.\u201d<\/p>\n
