Antiques Roadshow portrait revealed to be by Anthony Van Dyck
A hunch by presenter Fiona Bruce leads to the portrait being identified as a genuine Van Dyck
A painting bought for £400 and featured on the BBC's Antiques Roadshow has been revealed to be a Sir Anthony Van Dyck portrait worth about £400,000.
Father Jamie MacLeod, who runs a retreat house in north Derbyshire, took the artwork to Newstead Abbey, Nottinghamshire, in 2012.
He said he was now planning to sell the piece by the 17th Century Flemish artist to buy new church bells.
