Description from the seller
San Francisco in Ecstasy – Oil on copper – 17th Century – Attributed to the Madrid School – Dutch-style frame
Magnificent oil painting on copper from the 17th century, depicting Saint Francis in ecstasy, one of the most emblematic iconographies of the Baroque.
Work attributed to the Madrid School, executed on a copper plate, a support highly valued by collectors for its extraordinary luminosity, the fineness of the details, and its excellent preservation through the centuries.
The composition shows Saint Francis in a deep moment of mystical contemplation, with the stigmas visible on the hands and the skull as a symbol of meditation on the transience of life, all wrapped in a delicate landscape of great spiritual force.
The work is presented in an elegant Dutch-style frame, which enhances its beauty and historical character.
Measurements:
* With frame: 29 × 25 × 4 cm
* Oil on copper: 17.5 × 13.5 cm
Maintains the patina and charm inherent to a work over three centuries old, making it an excellent piece for collectors of old paintings, sacred art, or high-end decoration.
An original work of great quality, difficult to find on the market, ideal for collectors and investors in old art.
