Abstract (en)

Re-examination of documentary and iconographic evidence demonstrates that Van Dyck's Holy Family with Partridges now in the Hermitage, Saint Petersburg, was painted in England for Queen Henrietta Maria, and is not the lost version that belonged to Frederik Hendrik of the Netherlands. Visual sources for the painting are found in Christian and pagan works of Rubens and Titian, and the symbols are both Catholic and classical, reflecting the Neo-Platonic atmosphere at the English court.
