St. Martin dividing his Mantle, Rubens, Windsor Castle.

By Rubens, Windsor Castle; canvas, H. 8 ft. 4 in. × 7 ft. 10 in. The Saint, accompanied by two horsemen and clad in brilliant armour, mounted on a gray horse, is dividing with his sword a scarlet mantle between two poor men; beyond, a woman with a child in her arms and another by her side. Waagen ascribes the horse, the woman, and the children to Van Dyck, who probably assisted in the work. This picture is the original of Van Dyck's St. Martin, in the church at Saventhem. It was formerly in Spain, whence it was taken about 1750 and sold to Frederick, Prince of Wales, father of George III. Engraved by Thomas Chambers (1766).—Waagen, Treasures, ii. 435; Smith, ii. 240.

The animals are by Snyders. Taken to Paris in 1800; returned in 1815.—Eastlake, Notes, 72.
