Meleager and Atalanta (Jordaens, 1620-1650)

Meleager and Atalanta is a 1620-1650 painting by Jacob Jordaens, now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.

A previously-unknown study on panel for the painting was identified in the Swansea Museum by Bendor Grosvenor (using the Art UK website) as part of the British BBC4 television programme Britain's Lost Masterpieces; conservation treatment was carried out by Simon Rollo Gillespie to repair the damaged panel and remove layers of disguising overpaint.

He also painted an earlier work on the subject of Meleager and Atalanta.
