Abstract (en)

Discusses the preliminary drawings which exist for Van Dyck's ca.1620 painting of The Brazen Serpent (Madrid, Museo del Prado), focusing on a previously unknown study which has recently entered the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene V. Thaw. Considers how Van Dyck, as he developed his composition, moved away from Rubens's version of the subject (1609-1610) which is now in the Courtauld Institute Galleries, London.
