About the Item

16th-Century Flemish School – Biblical Scene Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 135 x 208 cm (unframed), 150 x 220 cm (framed) Provenance: Private collection Historical Context & Stylistic Analysis This monumental oil painting, likely from the 16th-century Flemish School, presents a richly detailed Biblical scene filled with emotional intensity and narrative depth. The composition, characterized by figures in elaborate garments, dramatic expressions, and a balanced arrangement, is typical of the Northern Renaissance tradition, where religious storytelling was combined with precise detailing and rich coloration. The central figure of Christ, dressed in an earthy robe with a flowing red mantle, extends his hand towards a kneeling woman, possibly Mary Magdalene or the Virgin Mary, in an act of forgiveness, blessing, or farewell. Surrounding them are apostles, mourning women, and noble figures, their faces rendered with striking realism and expressive gestures, enhancing the emotional weight of the scene. The background features a cityscape with domed churches and fortified walls, reminiscent of Flemish architectural elements, reinforcing the influence of Bruges or Antwerp masters. The painting reflects the influence of Pieter Coecke van Aelst, Quentin Metsys, and the Antwerp Mannerists, whose works blended Italian Renaissance composition with Netherlandish attention to detail and symbolic storytelling. Condition & Collectible Value This rare large-scale religious painting is in remarkably preserved condition, maintaining its luminous color palette and intricate detailing. Its size and grand composition make it a centerpiece for ecclesiastical collections, museums, or private collectors of Old Masters and Flemish Renaissance paintings. The work is framed in a gilded border, complementing its historical significance and visual impact. A superb acquisition for those interested in 16th-century Biblical art, reflecting the spiritual and artistic grandeur of the Northern Renaissance period.
