AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A very old oil painting, Italian School, which shows a high-quality, figure-rich depiction of a religious scene. It is attributed to the style of the Old Masters, specifically from the 18th–19th century, and it has a fitting brown-gold frame.
Technique: Oil on copper
Italian School around 1800–1850
Dimensions with frame: 40 x 30 x 4.5 cm
Dimensions without frame: 30 x 20 cm
The painting comes with a certificate.
The depiction of figures in a posture of prayer (known as 'orant' in Christian art) points to a biblical or religious event, as it is often depicted in art. The girl in the middle looks directly at us and points with her finger at the viewer.
The realistic portrayal and the composition, which create depth and three-dimensionality through light and shadow, are characteristic of classical painting styles that draw on the Renaissance and the Baroque.
The painting stylistically recalls the works of Domenico Morelli, especially his later religious pieces, which are characterized by a blend of Realism, Romanticism, and Symbolism.
The painting is “Dipinto su rame,” i.e., painted on copper. The technique was especially popular from the 16th to the 18th century in Italy and Northern Europe. It is a traditional method that has been popular since the Renaissance and was used by masters such as Jan Brueghel the Elder and Rembrandt.
