Rembrandt van Rijn’s Saint James the Greater sold at Sotheby’s in New York yesterday for $25.8 million. It’s one in a series of half-length portraits of religious figures the Dutch artist painted in the mid-1600s. Since James is the patron saint of pilgrims, we suspect that, despite his less than fabulous appearance, he might be a distant relative of our own James St. James, but we can’t prove it.
