The royal portraits were part of the Holmes bequest, and it is extraordinary that such comparatively modern canvases should have completely vanished. William Vanderstegen and John Taylor were under1 The President of Magdalen. Of this picture Dr. Rawlinson wrote in June 1745 to Thomas Rawlins (Ballard MS. ii, p. 116) : .I met...
Pàgina 41 - Broinley died in 1732. In the Chapter House in 1790.2 (House of the Regius Professor of Pastoral Theology.) 100 THE SAME Bust, three-quarters to r. ; grey hair falling to neck, clean-shaven face ; square bands ; black gown ; dark background ; painted in an oval spandrel. Canvas 29 x 24£ in. Copy of the portrait in Hall, and hung in its present position at some time probably to replace the portrait given by William Bromley now in the house of the Professor of Pastoral Theology.
