Lot Essay

In a letter dated March 13, 1998, Prof. Dr. Horst Vey states that these paintings formed part of a set of The Four Evangelists painted by 'a Flemish artist from the immediate circle of Rubens and Van Dyck'. The sketch of Saint Matthew was last seen in the exhibition of drawings and oil sketches by van Dyck in Antwerp and Rotterdam, Antoon Van Dyck. Tekeningen en Olieverfschetsen, 1960 (catalogue by H. Vey, no. 134a) when it belonged to A.E. Stehli of Ksmacht, near Zurich. The Saint John was at that time in the Koeser collection in Hamburg.
