Interior with minor signs of wear.; Catalogue from the exhibition Art of Power; Masterpieces from the Bute Collection at Mount Stuart, held at Mount Stuart and The Hunterian, 31 March 2017-14 January 2018.; The Bute Collection is housed at Mount Stuart (1880-1912), the Gothic Revival country house designed by Robert Rowand Anderson on the Isle of Bute, situated in Scotland's Firth of Clyde. Besides superb Grand Manner family portraits, the collection includes many important Old Master paintings that were collected in the 1760s and 1770s by John Stuart, Third Earl of Bute (1713-1792).

The house was remodelled by Robert Adam, and the grounds were land-scaped by Lancelot "Capability" Brown. Luton Hoo became the repository for one of the greatest art collections of the age. At the time of his death, there were 500 works in the house. Bute had a passion for Venetian art and the grand rooms on the ground floor at Luton were hung with works by Tintoretto, Veronese and Bordone, Zuccarelli, as well as several northern masterpieces by Rubens, Cuyp and Berchem. The generally smaller Dutch and Flemish paintings, which were a special focus of Bute's collecting, were accommodated on the upper floor, clustered in dense thematic hangs in the bedrooms and dressing rooms. This publication focuses on the main themes of Bute's collecting, not least his formation of a truly great collection of Dutch and Flemish paintings.…
