Anne of Cleves: the Bruyn portrait
Collection Rosenbach Artist 2 Bruyn, Barthel the Elder (workshop) Title Anne of Cleves https://rosenbach.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/BA3BC889-8AC1-4FC4-B47A-592924539315
a) Adusted and corrected from the Rosenbach online collections, b) 1539 Anna von Kleve-Julich-Berg from Mary Saaler’s Anne of Cleves.
This stunningly beautiful portrait of Anne has been variously attributed to Hans Wertinger or considered to be a copy of the painting at St Johns, Oxford. For much of the 20th century it was lost and only known by the black and white photograph.
