Swansea (Wales) Museum Authenticates Jordaens Study

A painting in the Swansea Museum relegated to the storeroom has recently been authenticated as a preparatory oil study by Jacob Jordaens for his large painting Meleager and Atalanta in the Prado. Thought to have been an eighteenth-century copy, it came to the attention of Bendor Grosvenor, a presenter on BBC1’s Fake or Fortune. It was subsequently authenticated by Ben van Beneden, director of the Rubenshuis, Antwerp. (From Nord on Art, September 2016: https://nordonart.wordpress.com/2016/09/26/a-major-discovery-in-small-museum-storeroom-a-painting-worth-millions/).
