523 Dyck, Anton van (1599 Antwerpen - 1641 London) Umkreis Rinaldo und Armida. Nach dem Epos von Torquato Tasso. Öl auf Leinwand. Doubliert. 58 x 42,5cm. Marrigje Rikken vom RKD, Den Haag beschreibt das vorliegende Gemälde in einer Email vom 25. September 2016 als eine Arbeit aus dem direkten Werkstattkreis des Anton van Dyck: “The painting of Rinaldo and Armida is in our opinion produced in the circle of, and possibly in the workshop of, Anthony van Dyck. It shows the same composition as Van Dyck’s painting of the subject in the Louvre. The National Gallery in London holds a modello for an engraving with the same composition. This modello has the same measurements as your painting. The modello is on panel and is much more refined in style. The depth in the depiction is also larger in the modello than in your painting. Therefore, we believe that your painting is not an autograph work by Van Dyck himself. Your painting does not seem to be a preliminary sketch for the painting in the Louvre, since Van Dyck usually did not work out the background in his sketches. Your painting follows the modello very closely, also in details, which suggests that it was done by someone who had access to the modello.” € 14.000 - 16.000 $ 15.680 - 17.920
