AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Follower or circle of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (Seville 1617–1682). Spanish school, probably 18th or 19th century.
Oil on canvas.
Dimensions:
• Canvas: 153.5 x 108 cm.
• With frame: 179 x 134 cm.
Large-scale depiction of John the Baptist as a boy in an atmospheric landscape. The saint is portrayed in the style of Murillo, with curly hair and gentle facial features. He wears his traditional garment made of camel hair. With his right hand, he leans against a lamb, which symbolically represents the sacrifice of Christ ('Agnus Dei'). In his left hand, he holds a cross staff made of reed, around which a scroll (banderole) with the Latin inscription 'Ecce Agnus Dei' (Behold the Lamb of God) winds.
The composition closely follows the famous versions of this motif by Murillo, as they can be found today in the National Gallery in London or in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.
Framing
The painting is housed in a monumental, darkly lacquered frame with three-dimensional decorative elements, featuring palmette and shell motifs.
Seller's Story
Art dealing has been in our family: my grandfather was an art dealer, and my mother is an antique dealer. In 2017, I continued this tradition and founded the Antoni Art Dealership—with the goal of making high-quality European art accessible to a new audience. Since then, we have passionately dedicated ourselves to trading paintings from the 19th century to the present. Our portfolio is complemented by our own gallery for contemporary art, where we present and promote current artistic positions.
Our expertise, cross-generational experience, and a carefully curated selection make us a special address for collectors, art lovers, and the curious.
