Interesting question. I've just done a pretty intensive web search for the provenance of the painting, and can't find anything about who sold it to the MFA. --Previous Message-- : When I was in Boston last week visiting the : Museum of Fine Arts, I came across gallery : 208 where Gerrit Honthorst's magnificent : (and huge) Allegory of Justice is currently : being restored. The painting shows : Elizabeth, Electress Palatine, with her : children and dead husband. : : It was my understanding that this painting : belonged to Prince Ernst August of Hannover. : I do not know if there is more than one : version. The painting being restored in : Boston was sold in London several years ago : and is on loan to the Museum of Fine Arts. : : : http://www.mfa.org/collections/conservation-and-collections-care/conservation-an-action:-allegory%20of%20justice : : -- : Noel S.
