AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Mannerist school of the 16th/17th century, Hans von Aachen (Cologne 1552–1615 Prague), circle of, circa 1580-1620. The Descent from the Cross.

The mannerism of Hans von Aachen, a leading master of the so-called 'Rudolfinian Mannerism' under Emperor Rudolf II in Prague, is characterized by the combination of elements of Italian and Flemish mannerism. It is an art of 'manner,' reflecting the subjectivity, elegance, and refinement of the artist, rather than a faithful imitation of nature.

Abandonment of the mathematical perspective in favor of an abstract, unrealistic background.
Spectacular and sometimes artificial lighting effects in a strong contrast of light and shadow.
His painting is also characterized by elegant and elongated figures.

Oil on oak panel, signs of age, few restorations, panel partially reinforced at the back.

Dimensions: 65 x 49 cm.

Provenance: private collection, Austria.
