AFTER MARINUS VAN REYMERSWAELE (c. 1490-1546). The Money Lenders, oil on canvas, 24 x 20in.
This subject enjoyed widespread popularity between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. Many versions of it are known. All may have been originally influenced by a lost picture by Jan Van Eyck, and all bear some relationship to the 'Banker and his Wife' by Quentin Massys (1514-The Louvre). Their principal debt, however, is to the image of the Tax Gatherers by Marinus Van Reymerswaele, the original of which is in the Louvre. Other variants of that composition include the work at Windsor Castle and one in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow
