Rubens' Chair, at Antwerp,1845. Creator: Unknown.

Rubens' Chair, at Antwerp, 1845. Chair associated with the Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens. 'Antwerp is rich in memorials of the genius of Rubens; but, probably, neither of them is regarded with purer veneration than the illustrious Painter's Chair, which is preserved in the Royal Academy of Painting, in the above city. The chair is finished with red leather, brass nailed, and has the name of the Painter on the upper part of the back, with the date "A. D. 1633" beneath. Cosway, the Royal Academician, is said to have offered two hundred florins for this interesting relic of the most celebrated painter of the Flemish school'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
