Ecce Homo, an oil on canvas painting from the 18th century by the French School, France, measuring 107 by 95 cm, depicting a religious subject in a classical style, in good condition and unsigned.
Description from the seller
Northern School of France or the Netherlands, 18th century, Ecce Homo, oil on canvas, 105 x 93 cm, framed by a wooden strip (maximum dimensions 107 x 95 x 3.5 cm).
Subject drawn from Christ Mocked by Anton van Dyck, datable to circa 1628, preserved at the Princeton University Art Museum.
Christ, placed in full light, on the left half of the composition, looks at the henchman who offers him a staff, in place of the scepter, to mock him as the “King of the Jews,” while behind a second mechanic in armor can be seen restraining him: the two figures, occupying the right half of the painting, are placed in darkness.
In good overall condition considering the period: the original canvas shows a lining with replacement of the frame; minimal superficial scratches easily resolvable; under a Wood’s lamp no painting retouchings are detected; the analysis of the craquelure is consistent with the listed dating.
The photographs are part of the description.
Careful packing, trackable shipping.
Costs and shipping times may be higher due to export procedures and/or locations not normally reached by shipping services (especially outside the EU).
