because I like that doublet.

Looks like a 19th century painting to me. You know, the historicism movement which gave us slightly sentimental historical paintings like Anne Boleyn in the tower awaiting her execution:

The postures and overall feeling is that of the Romantic era, but put into a convincing historical style.
But I'm afraid I don't know who's painted the one you posted. I agree that the doublet is lovely!
I'm with Anea. It's definitely 19th century, but it doesn't automatically scream a particular artist to me. The subject matter looks a little like Arthur Hughes, and the postures look like William Holman Hunt, but neither of those artists had such a crisp, clean style/technique (their paintings tend to be a little fuzzier).
Oooh, I found a new web toy! Tineye.com lets you either upload a picture or put a url for a picture in, and then it finds where else on the web the pic is.
So, going to the lol site and getting the pic w/o the caption, and then searching for it, gives:
St. Bartholemew's Day by John Everett Millais.
How neat is that!

Never seen the Doublet painting before-reminds me of 18th century dutch styles. Rembrandt did some very similar work back in the 17th cent, however this is probably from the romantic era too, judging from the pose and the subject matter. It was the vogue at that time to paint tragic scenes.
Boleyn in the Tower is most certainly 19th century. I've seen this one many times, it is Anne Boleyn in the Tower by Edouard Cibot (1799 - 1877) The dramatic pose, and even the style and drape of the clothing (note the shawl like girdle on the lady at Anne's feet) are typical of that era.

I know it is, that's why I used it as an example... ;)
Elennare, I must try that tinyeye site!! That is too cool.
Agreed! A very handy tool. Thanks. :)
