Opinion on historical-artistical value
Rarity: High, significant survival of the original decorative architectural element.
Artistic merit: good craftsmanship level with iconographic interest in apotropaic and symbolic aspects.
Historical importance: Original testimony of Renaissance/late Gothic architectural decoration, worthy of preservation.
Painting technique: Polychrome decoration: Tempera based on protein, mineral pigments, and natural earths on gesso preparation or light priming.
Superficial finish: Possible traces of old paint or protective coating based on oil-resin (oxidized over time).
Main decorative technique: painting with highlighted relief details emphasized by contrasting color fills.
Very rare and valuable object, ideal for collectors who appreciate high-era pieces. The panel originates from a ceiling in the Lombardy region. It is a medieval/gothic-style painting with conservative restorations. The panel has been examined and certified by a professional restorer. Over the centuries, the panel has undergone repainting and restorations for conservation purposes. As an antique object, it shows signs of age that are considered a fundamental and unique characteristic.
