Two weeks ago, I highlighted an auction where they sold a work attributed to "T. de Brackelar", which turned out to be F. de Braekeleer instead.
Now, Drouot offers a "Ferdinand Brenkelaer", which is again a "de Braeckeleer", but this time by or after Adriaan Ferdinand de Braekeleer. No idea why this name is the one that gets mangled so badly twice in a row, it's not as if there are no other Dutch or Flemish names that can be misread. Perhaps one day I'll find a "Van der Weyden" written as " Von de Heyde" or somesuch, which will mislead a lot of people :-)
