Note 259 — LITERARY RESIDENCES.
Reading edition
Rubens was an ardent collector, and lost no chance of increasing his stores; in the appendix to Carpenter’s “Pictorial Notices of Vandyke” is printed the correspondence between himself and Sir D. Carleton, offering to exchange some of his own pictures for antiques in possession of the latter, who was ambassador from England to Holland, and who collected also for the Earl of Arundel.
