Painting with a Healing Scene 17th Century

1600s

About the Item

Oil on copper. Flemish school of the seventeenth century. The painting, attributed by oral tradition to Frans Francken the younger (1581 -1642), depicts a miraculous healing performed by Jesus: as He goes with His disciples, He encounters on His way a sick man, probably with leprosy, a disease that involved isolation and banishment from the city; the man invokes Christ who performs the miracle and heals him. The painting places the 'event on the left margin of the scene, in the foreground, where the figures dressed in the fashion proper to Christ's time, stand out in bright colors; moreover, the landscape that fills the entire rest of the scene is distinctly Nordic, with a river full of water flowing through a countryside rich vegetation, and a city in the background under mountainous peaks. The pictorial description of the vegetation is meticulous and precise, rich and well-defined in detail: the broken trunk in the foreground, the fronds of the large tree behind the characters, the birds that fly high in the sky, the little flowers on the shore, the shades of the water in which the plants and clouds are reflected, are painted with a painterly refinement peculiar to Flemish painting, close in style to that of the great Antwerp artist. The painting is presented in repurposed antique frame.
