There are obvious similarities to three other saints by Van Dyck. The planks of this particular panel are from the same tree as The Holy Family by Jordaens in Saint Gilles town hall, Brussels. There are also paintings from the same tree of James The Greater, related to a Van Dyck in a private collection in Germany, and a Thomas (see Christie's, New York, 19 April 2018, Lot 18). Given that the panels of these were made by Guilliam Aertssen, we can be confident that our panel support was also made by Aertssen.
We are grateful to the Jordaens/Van Dyck Panel Paintings Project and Mr Justin Davis for their help in cataloguing the panel. A copy of their report and the dendrochronological report is available on request.
