Stolen Quellinus double portrait returns to Chatsworth after 45 years
Erasmus Quellinus II’s double portrait of Rubens and Van Dyck was taken from a 1979 exhibition at the Towner Art Gallery in Eastbourne. An art historian spotted it at a Toulon auction in 2021. Chatsworth recovered and conserved the painting, which was back on display by May 2024. Photo: Chatsworth House Trust.
