Jakob Isaacsz. Swanenburgh (Leiden 1571-1638 Utrecht) A papal procession before Saint Peter's Basilica, Rome oil on panel 66.6 x 114.8cm (26 1/4 x 45 3/16in). Footnotes: Provenance The Collection of H.V. Morton, and thence by descent to his widow, by whom gifted to the present owner The present painting compares very closely to Swanenburgh's signed work of 1628, now in the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen (acc. no. KMSsp368) and which also depicts a ceremony in Saint Peter's Square from the same viewpoint. Originally from Lancashire, Henry Canova Vollam Morton was best known as a journalist and pioneering travel writer. His widely read eye-witness accounts of the excavation and opening of the inner burial chamber containing the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun established Morton as a journalist and travel writer. Later, in the 1930s, he went on to write about his travels in the Holy Land and Turkey. In the late 1940s Morton and his wife Violet (known as Mary), emigrated to South Africa, where he remained until his death in 1979.
