Santa Clara de Asís, oil on canvas by the Spanish School, 18th century, country of origin Unknown, sold with frame.
Description from the seller
Oil on canvas – Spanish School (XVIII), Saint Clare of Assisi – Large format (120 x 94 cm)
Description:
Magnificent oil on canvas representing Saint Clare of Assisi, emblematic figure of the Christian monastic tradition. The work stands out for its devotional character and its sober atmosphere, with a warm color palette and a delicate treatment of light.
This is a large-format painting, probably created in the 13th century. The composition shows careful execution, with special attention to the face and hands, conveying serenity and spiritual recollection.
The canvas preserves its original stretcher and shows signs of age consistent with its age: superficial craquelure, varnish darkening, and slight wear, which do not affect the overall reading of the work and add authenticity.
No visible signature is discernible, suggesting a workshop work or an anonymous author within the European religious painting tradition.
Characteristics:
* Technique: oil on canvas
* Theme: Saint Clare of Assisi
* Period: 13th century
* Dimensions: 120 x 94 cm
* Condition: good for its age (see images)
* Signature: not visible
