Abstract

Correctly identifying the subjects of familiar portraits transforms our perception of them. We publish here research by Gregory Martin and Anna Orlando on the famous Anthony van Dyck portrait of the so-called Balbi Children in the National Gallery, London, which shows that the artist’s beguiling subjects are in fact members of another Genoese family.
