AFTER SIR ANTHONY VAN DYCK, THE LAMENTATION
AFTER SIR ANTHONY VAN DYCKTHE LAMENTATIONOil on canvas214 x 176cm (84¼ x 69¼ in.)Provenance:The former Cook Collection, Doughty House, RichmondSale, Christie's, London, 11 April 2011, lot 32The present painting is a near contemporary copy after the composition, now in the Prado, Madrid (coll. no. P001642) which was painted around 1618-1620. The Cook Lamentation was catalogued as Van Dyck until 1913, when it was downgraded to a copy of the painting now in the Prado by Joop de Koning. At the time the Prado painting was attributed to Rubens. Until 1974 the Cook Lamentation was therefore considered a copy after Rubens, when the Prado reattributed their painting to Van Dyck, and the Cook painting thereafter became a copy after Van Dyck.Another larger version of this work is Van Dyck's monumental Lamentation in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp (coll. no 403), which was executed around 1629 for the high altar of the Begijnhof church, possibly as a gift in memory of Rubens' sister Cornelia, who lived there and was buried in the choir of the church (1627).
