RUBENS Pierre - Paul (After) 1577 - 1640
Saint Begga of Andenne.
Oil on canvas (On reverse, three small pieces of reinforcement; minor restorations;
old varnish dirty)
H. 42 - L. 32.5 cm
Dutch-style black wood frame.
Based on the composition by P. P Rubens (circa 1614) in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, in which Saint Begga is depicted with her husband Ansegisus (Cf. Michael Jaffé, Rubens, Catalogo Completo, n°248, p. 195 - Milano 1989).
An engraving by Théodore Mathan (c. 1589 - 1676) shows the painter H. van Eyck as the model for Saint Begga.
