An excellent presentation! Thanks!! Too many people today do not realise that these masterful paintings were painted by several artists, working as a team (or, more properly, as a studio). Each was a specialist, which is why the paintings are so good. They were "assembled," so to speak, under the master's skillfull direction, just as movies are made today.
Most often : one master-painter and some aprentices, but sometimes also some full-time painters specialized in some particular gendere (landscape painters, flowers painters, etc),all contribuing to do and finsh a painting ! As you look closely to some Ruben's painting (I have now in my mind alegoric paintings that now are exposed in Hermitaj-Sankt Petersburg) you can see clearly that the flowers are pained in a very different maner that the rest of the painting.....definetly NOT by the Ruben's hand ! Most often: Master makes an original drowing,not very large with the subject=future painting .Then the pupils,the aprentices are transposeing this drowing on the cavens or wood (prepared for painting), enlargeing the drawing to the caven's scale. The aprentices are the ones who prepare the wood or cavens for painting, also makeing painting colors from pigments ,and filling the drowing on cavens with the first layers of colors..... The final touches of the brush ALLWAYS belong to the Master! Excuse my writening in english-not allways great- but the informations they are corect !
Absolutely correct. Bravo!!!! These wonderful paintings were created by a whole bunch of specialists, just as a movie is made today (a director, cameramen, make-up artists, costume designers, actors …).
The background is about contrast. Light face against a dark background and dark hair against a lighter background. Ask a painter not a historian. Has nothing to do with sfumato.

Great talk--thank you to the museum for posting it.
Thank You. It was very interesting. Much information in a such short time.
Fascinating talk. Thank you very much. :)
This is SO much like the Henrietta Maria portrait on Fake or Fortune!
That was great!
Thank you so much for the informative, wonderful lecture, this is really outstanding.
The painting it’s amazingly beautiful but the frame it’s incredible beautiful and oversized.
Too many people do not notice the frame. These frames sell for tens of thousands of euros.
I just saw her ❤

She actually never wore the crown. Because she was Catholic and she did not want to be crowned in a Protestant church (she was never crowned)
The stories of the collectors were also interesting.
Looks like an original Beltracchi...
