i42 ART TREASURES OF THE MUSEE CONDE
Philippe de Clove, Sieur de Raven st ein; Jean de
Bugenhagen (attributed to Holbein); Catherine
de Bora, the wife of Luther; Charles P; the
Count and Countess Hornes; Henri IP (by
Pourbus), and an attractive likeness of his daughter
Elizabeth, Queen of Spain; Gabrielle dlEsMes
art bain ; the Due de Retz ; the Due d?Aumont
on horseback ; Sully and Charost (by Quesnel)
George I', several portraits by Mignard, among
them a magnificent likeness of Moliere, another
of Mazarin, and two pastels representing Colbert
and Quinault. From the same collection are the
portraits of Pope Benedict XIP by Suleyras and
of Marie Antoinette as Hebe by Drouais.
Another portrait which attracts much notice is
that of Antoine de Bourgogne, the Grand Bdtard,
the second of the nineteen illegitimate sons of
Philippe le Bon. This painting was presented to
the Due d’Aumale by the Duke of Sutherland. It
is an exquisite work of art which has been variously
attributed to Memling, to Roger van der Weyden,
and to Ugo van der Goes, but it is to the last-named
artist that it can be assigned with greater pro-
bability. The Grand Batardx wears the Order of
the Golden Fleece instituted by his father at Bruges
in 1430, and appears to be about forty years of
age, the period of life when he gained his great
victory over the Moors at Ceuta. He was not
only a valiant warrior, but also an arduous biblio-
phile and collector. His Chateau of La Roche
