Légende

Pictures from the late King of Holland's Collection - The Death of the Virgin - painted by Martin Schoon, 1850. 'Represented as about to expire. The twelve Apostles surround the bed, and administer the last consolation of religion. Colouring extremely brilliant. It was purchased for £245 by Mr. Nieuwenhuys...The late King of Holland, William II., was a man of refined taste, and of considerable judgment in works of art. He purchased liberally, whenever opportunities offered of acquiring fine works of the old masters, whether of the Italian, Flemish, or Dutch schools; and he was a generous patron of living artists, as he has abundantly manifested by the large number of their works which now appear in his collection to bo sold'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
