18th Century Oil on Canvas French Biblical Painting Susanna and the Elders, 1710

1710

About the Item

Splendid painting from the first half of the 18th century. Oil on canvas painting depicting a fascinating biblical scene, Susanna and the elders. A chaste woman is threatened by two elderly judges who blackmail her. The story will have a happy ending, however, Susanna will resist the elders who will then be unmasked and condemned. The painting has a plaque with the name Jean Baptiste Santerre (1651-1717), a famous French artist known for his refined elegance and marked sensuality. Painting of remarkable pictorial quality, probably a preparatory study for the original, of monumental dimensions and now exhibited at the Louvre in Paris (the artwork is not currently accompanied by an expertise, but it is possible to obtain it upon payment of the relevant additional costs). Carved and gilded wooden frame from the 20th century, with some signs of aging (see photo). Painting already restored with relining, replacement of the frame and recoloring in small spots, overall in good condition. Interior size H 79 x W 47 cm.

‘Woman With Black Hair' Figurative Art Nude Oil On Canvas By Hal Frater

Located in Carmel, CA
Portrait Of a Woman Painting - - oil on canvas -- Woman with a Black Hair' Hal Frater passed away on February 3, 2008, just a month from celebrating his 99th birthday. Hal Frater had a long and prolific career. He became a sought after commercial artist for over fifty years . All the while he would return to his studio and paint for himself rather than his clients. Yet he always retained his illustration roots in wanting to tell a story on canvas with his keen eye of observation on the human condition.
