210 THE SUTHERLAND GALLERY.
150 Two Cavaliers—playing at backgammon; another be-
hind smoking. More in the style of Terburg than that of
Rembrandt.
VAN GOYEN (Jan), b. 1596 ; d. 1656.
151 Landscape.—A river scene, with an old half ruined
chateau on the bank to the right, and in front three fisher-
men in a boat, hauling in a net. Dated 1648. Eminently
beautiful, soft, cool, and light. 3 ft. 2 in. by 4 ft. 2 in.
152 View on the Coast of Holland.—Small.
153 View of a Town in Flanders.—Small.
VAN DYCK (Antony), b. 1599; d. 1641. [Of the two portraits
here, the first is the most celebrated and interesting, the second is ex-
cellent and in better preservation. See p. 52.]
154 Portrait—Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel.* This
picture, painted about 1635, represents the Earl, when
about fifty-five, in a black velvet dress, and plain white
collar. He is seated in an arm-chair; with his right hand
he holds a medal, suspended from his neck by a blue rib-
bon, in the left is a roll of paper. The countenance is
that of an intellectual, and grave, if not melancholy
man. The execution of the picture must have been most
beautiful, with something of that Venetian tone and feel-
ing which Van Dyck brought with him from Italy, but
lost gradually after' his arrival in England; it has, however,
suffered much by cleaning and rubbing, particularly the
hands, which retain no trace of the original modelling.
The Earl of Arundel admired and favoured Van Dyck, as
he had done Rubens, and while in England Van Dyck
painted at least nine or ten pictures for him. After the
dispersion of the collection, this picture was carried abroad,
and was at one time in the Orleans Gallery; but at the
sale of that gallery it was found to be missing, and a de-
* Grandson of the accomplished Duke of Norfolk, beheaded in Elizabeth’s
reign, for conspiring in favour of Mary, Queen of Scots, and great-grandson of
the Earl of Surrey, of chivalrous and poetical fame, who was put to death by
Henry VIII.
