Henry Gibbs
Henry Gibbs (1630/1–1713) was an English oil painter.[1][2]
Gibbs worked in Canterbury, Kent.[3] He painted "Aeneas and his Family Fleeing Burning Troy" in 1654, acquired by the Tate Britain gallery, London, in 1994.[4] In 2025 it was announced that the picture would be given back to the descendants of Samuel Hartveld, from whose collection in Antwerp the Nazis looted it in 1940.[5] There are also works by Gibbs in the Beaney House of Art and Knowledge and the Canterbury Heritage Museum.[3] His paintings have been sold through Christie's auction house.[6]
