1640

About the Item

Painting of beautiful size and proportion adorned with a non-coeval 19th century wooden frame, carved and gilded (gilding resumed in the 20th century).

Artwork of great pictorial quality, note how the characters are distributed on different perspective planes of the composition. Furthermore, the creation of the flesh tones and the skilful use of chiaroscuro denote great mastery. Painting attributable to the Neapolitan painter Massimo Stanzione (1585-1656), lacking additional documentation. Painting that has undergone conservative restoration, relining, replacement of the frame and recovery of color in some places (see photo). Overall in good condition. Sight size H 64 x W 81 cm.
