Resumen de An addition to the provenance of Caravaggio's 'Taking of Christ'
The writer presents additional information on the provenance of Caravaggio's Taking of Christ. He traces what was previously known about the provenance of the work until its auction in Edinburgh by Dowell's Ltd. on April 16, 1921, noting that there was uncertainty about what happened at this sale, as the archives of the auction house were lost. He explains that the archives have now been tracked down and show the purchaser to be Joseph Kent Richardson, a known Edinburgh artist and dealer. He notes, however, that it remains unclear exactly how the painting passed from Richardson's hands into the possession in Dublin of Dr. Marie Lea-Wilson, who at some point in the 1930s presented the painting to the Jesuit community of that city.
