Portrait Of Cornelis Van Der Geest
The ''Portrait of Cornelis van der Geest'' is a panel painting by Anthony van Dyck from about 1620. The original panel and painting were expanded by other artists.

Royal Academy Of Arts
The Royal Academy of Arts (RA) is an art institution based in Burlington House in Piccadilly London, England. Founded in 1768, it has a unique position as an independent, privately funded institution led by eminent artists and architects. Its purpose is to promote the creation, enjoyment and appreciation of the fine arts through exhibitions, education and debate.

Although Cheere's attempt failed, the eventual charter, called an 'Instrument', used to establish the Royal Academy of Arts over a decade ...
