The Death of Jacob Jordaens

Jacob #Jordaens, exceptionally talented Flemish #Baroque painter, died on this day 18th October, 1678. Here is his depiction of the Madonna with Child and Flowers. Simply beautiful.

Hear ye! One thought — so far — on “The Death of Jacob Jordaens”:

    Dear Lady Zuvich,

    The crowned monogram CC. at the bottom left is of the XV Condesa (countess) of Chinchón, María Teresa de Borbón y Vallabriga, niece of the Spanish King Charles IV, and this painting by Jacob Jordaens, signed and dated 1632, was in the collection of her and her husband Manuel Godoy y Álvarez de Faria, prime minister of Charles IV.

    With my best regards,

    Ludo from 2100 Antwerp.
