For the Torre de la Parada, the king’s hunting lodge outside Madrid, Rubens devised more than sixty mythological scenes, among them this oil sketch of the young Ganymede abducted by Jupiter in the guise of an eagle. For the Alcázar, Philip’s city palace, the king ordered a series of eighteen hunts; Rubens departed from the mythological account by the ancient Roman author Ovid in his <i>Metamorphoses</i> and instead portrayed the death of Adonis as a hunting accident. These quick and direct oil sketches demonstrate the assured touch and virtuoso economy of means by which Rubens conveyed his subjects.\n","remarks":"EUR1_02-05_WLA-Day 1 Cataloguing (group chat for 2022-13 and y1930-458)"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Provenance","textentryhtml":"<font face=\"Helvetica\"><p>John Frederick Sackville, 3rd Duke of Dorset (1745–1799); by descent to his widow, Arabella Diana Sackville (née Cope, later Whitworth), Duchess of Dorset (1769–1825); by descent to her eldest daughter, Lady Mary Sackville (1792-1864); by descent to her younger sister, Elizabeth Sackville-West, Countess De La Warr (1795–1870); by descent to her 4th son, Mortimer Sackville-West, 1st Baron Sackville (1820-1888); by descent to his younger brother, Lionel Sackville-West, 2nd Baron Sackville (1827-1908); by descent to his nephew, Lionel Edward Sackville-West, 3rd Baron Sackville (1867-1928).
