Q: Image caption The portrait of the Duke of Buckingham dates from around 1625 
  
 A "lost" portrait by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens has been rediscovered after almost 400 years. 
  
 The 17th Century Flemish artist's "head study" of the Duke of Buckingham was identified by Dr Bendor Grosvenor from BBC Four's Britain's Lost Masterpieces. 
  
 It was in Glasgow Museums' collection and on public display at the city's Pollok House stately home. 
  
 But overpainting and centuries of dirt meant it was thought to be a later copy by another artist. 
  
 The restored portrait of George Villiers, the 1st Duke of Buckingham, was authenticated as a Rubens by Ben van Beneden, director of the Rubenshuis in Antwerp. 
  
 He said it was a "rare addition to Rubens's portrait oeuvre, showing how he approached the genre". 
  
 Dr Grosvenor said: "The chance to discover a portrait of such a pivotal figure in British history by one of the greatest artists who ever lived has been thrillingly exciting."

 Councillor David McDonald, chairman of Glasgow Life, said: "Unsurprisingly we are beyond delighted to discover the painting is by Rubens, an artist renowned globally as one of the most important painters in history." 
  
 The portrait of the duke in a doublet with an elaborate lace collar and a sash dates from around 1625. 
  
 He was a controversial figure in the Jacobean era who rose from minor nobility to become one of the favourites of James I, who was James VI in Scotland. 
  
 The nature of their relationship has been the source of much debate. Some experts claim they were lovers, while others believe it was a close platonic friendship.

 Renovation work carried out by English Heritage at Apethorpe Palace in Northamptonshire, one of the king's favourite residences, revealed a secret passage linking the two men's bedchambers. 
  
 The Duke was assassinated in 1628 at the age of just 35, three years after James died. 
  
 Overpainting of the background and other areas by a later artist, along with hundreds of years of dust and dirt, had obscured Rubens' work. 
  
 But scientific analysis of the wood it was painted on dated it to the 1620s, and found it had been prepared in a way done by Rubens' studio. 
  
 Additional cleaning and x-rays of the hair showed it was not a copy but was by the artist himself. 
  
 The painting underwent conservation work by restorer Simon Gillespie to return it to its original appearance. 
  
 It will go on display at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow on Thursday. 
  
 The painting will feature in the first programme of the new series of Britain's Lost Masterpieces at 21:00 BST on BBC Four on 27 September. ||||| Painting of George Villiers, first Duke of Buckingham, thought to have been a copy, is identified as original after 400 years 
  
 A long-lost portrait of perhaps one of the most famous gay men in history by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens has been found in Glasgow. 
  
 The portrait showing George Villiers, the first Duke of Buckingham, thought to have been James VI and I’s lover, had been hanging in a National Trust for Scotland property and was believed to be a copy of the lost original, which had been missing for almost 400 years. 
  
 The masterpiece was spotted in the gallery of Pollok House by Dr Bendor Grosvenor from BBC4’s Britain’s Lost Masterpieces, who suspected that it could be the real deal. 
  
 The painting is the subject of an episode of the TV programme on Wednesday, which will show how layers of dirt and overpainting obscured Rubens’s trademark techniques.

 Rubens, a pioneer of the Flemish Baroque tradition, is considered one of the most influential painters in history and his work is worth millions. 
  
 Conservation work carried out by the art restorer Simon Gillespie has returned the portrait, which belongs to Glasgow Museums, to its original state. 
  
 This allowed for a new assessment of its attribution and the painting was authenticated as a Rubens by Ben van Beneden, the director of the Rubenshuis in Antwerp. 
  
 A range of techniques were used in the process including dendrochronology – examining the tree rings of wood to date it – which showed that the panel on which the portrait was painted was likely to have been created in the early 1620s. It was also found to have been prepared in the manner used in Rubens’s studio. 
  
 An analysis of the alterations through cleaning and x-ray demonstrated that the painting could not be a copy, but was Rubens’s lost masterpiece. 
  
 Beneden concluded that the portrait was a “rare addition to Rubens’s portrait oeuvre, showing how he approached the genre”. 
  
 Grosvenor saw the painting while visiting the stately home with his wife and daughter “as regular punters”. 
  
 The self-confessed Rubens anorak said: “There was this painting further up by the fireplace and it sounds rather silly to say it, but it was a bit of a eureka moment and I thought: ‘My god, that looks like a Rubens.’ This picture just seemed to shine out.” 
  
 He returned the next day with a pair of binoculars and the following day with a ladder. “It wasn’t until we peeled it all back that we could be really sure. It’s one thing for an optimist like me to have a hunch, but quite another to prove it,” Grosvenor said. 
  
 The process took two months in total. “Our restorer, Simon, is a wizard at these things. I don’t mind admitting that I get rather emotional when you see the layers being peeled back and you begin to be one of the first people to see it how Rubens intended,” he said.

 The portrait is a study for a larger painting. “It’s just a sketch, but in the 18th and 19th century, unfinished work wasn’t as appreciated as it is today, so you get a lot of pictures which are finished off by later artists. So this was tidied up by someone and as a result, it began to look very stiff and more like a copy,” he said. 
  
 The final painting was destroyed in a fire in 1949, so it is very fortunate to have found this version, Grosvenor said. 
  
 Although the Duke of Buckingham’s personal relationship with James VI and I is much debated, the king referred to Buckingham as his husband, and their relationship scandalised the court. In 1628, the duke was assassinated at the age of 35, three years after James died. 
  
 It was known that Rubens had painted a portrait of Buckingham in about 1625, but the work had been regarded as lost by art historians for almost 400 years. 
  
 Grosvenor said: “The chance to discover a portrait of such a pivotal figure in British history by one of the greatest artists who ever lived has been thrillingly exciting. 
  
 “I hope it inspires many people to visit Glasgow’s museums, some of the finest in the country. ” 
  
 The rediscovered Rubens painting will go on display at Glasgow Museums’ flagship gallery, Kelvingrove, on Thursday, after the BBC4 programme has aired. 
  
 David McDonald, the chair of Glasgow Life, which runs the museums service, said: “Unsurprisingly, we are beyond delighted to discover the painting is by Rubens, an artist renowned globally as one of the most important painters in history.” 
  
 McDonald said Glasgow was proud of its extensive art collection and it had been a joy to work with the TV programme. 
  
 “We are excited to give as many people as possible the opportunity to see Rubens’s masterpiece in person,” he said. “George Villiers is sure to become one of the undoubted highlights of any visit to Kelvingrove.” 
  
 Karen Cornfield, the property manager for Pollok House, said it was exciting news for Glasgow. “We hope the programme will encourage visitors to come to Pollok, explore the collection and learn more about the family who brought so many great artworks to Glasgow,” she said. ||||| A Rubens masterpiece missing for nearly 400 years has turned up at a country house in Glasgow.

A man's day out with his family resulted in the discovery of a 400-year-old painting of "perhaps one of the most famous gay men in history" by one of the most important painters in history, the Guardian reports. The story is only slightly less surprising because that man was Dr. Bendor Grosvenor of the BBC program Britain's Lost Masterpieces. Grosvenor noticed the painting of George Villiers, first Duke of Buckingham, during a visit to the historic Pollok House in Glasgow, according to the BBC. "There was this painting further up by the fireplace and it sounds rather silly to say it, but it was a bit of a eureka moment and I thought: ‘My god, that looks like a Rubens,'" the Guardian quotes Grosvenor as saying. The portrait was painted by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens around 1625 but was believed to have been lost. In reality, later artists painting over the background of the portrait—not to mention hundreds of years of dirt and grime—had obscured the work's identity as an original Rubens. It was confirmed as such through X-rays, cleaning, and scientific analysis of the wood it was painted on. The portrait is believed to have been bought by an art collector who owned the Pollok House in the late-1800s, the Telegraph reports. The man who authenticated it calls it a "rare addition to Ruben's portrait oeuvre." Villiers was a minor noble elevated to duke by James I. Experts believe he was the king's lover, and a secret passageway connected the two men's bedrooms in one of James' residences. The restored portrait will be going on display in a Glasgow museum and art gallery this week. (A celebrity discovered this artwork rolled up in a tube.)
