About the Item

Venetian-Cretan master of the early 16th century, icon of Christ the Bridegroom (or Nymphios). Tempera on gold ground on panel. Measure 41 x 29 cm Holy Week, in Eastern tradition and in Byzantine-rite churches, is dominated by the theme of God's wedding with humanity, hence the name of the icon. In fact, under this title we find three different icons, but linked by their common location in the context of the Holy Week celebrations. This icon fixes the image of Christ the Bridegroom in the moment before the ascent to Calvary, a representation known in the West under the name Ecce Homo: Christ is depicted wearing the red chlamys and the crown of thorns. The work focuses on the face of Christ, depicted according to purely Byzantine canons: the precise contours, the dark eyes outlined in black in the Oriental manner, the modulation of the complexion achieved under a dark, dense brown paint, a greater emphasis highlighting the cheeks, and the bright color of the dress with a geometric pattern of folds. Another Byzantine element is the magnificent gold background on which the meticulously engraved halo stands out. The subject of "Nymphios" is not very common in Venetian-Cretan painting, so this is a rare work. The painting underwent a conservative restoration at a specialized and authorized laboratory consisting of cleaning the old oxidized varnishes to regain the splendor of the original colors. The gilding is entirely original and perfectly preserved. The wooden panel is well preserved and has never been floored. Microscopic study of the painting during restoration confirms its dating. The term "Cretan school" designates an important school of painting that emerged in Crete around the first half of the 14th century and developed slowly until it became established in the second half of the 15th century. At that time the island was under Venetian control, which began in 1204 with the sack of Constantinople and ended in 1669. This artistic school saw the evolution of the classical Byzantine style as a result of the introduction of Western pictorial characters, particularly Venetian but also Tuscan and Flemish. The formation of the new style of the Cretan school was mainly determined by the fact that before the conquest of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453, many iconographers left the mainland bound for the islands of the eastern Mediterranean, mainly Crete, bringing with them paleological Renaissance Art. The island, already under Venetian rule, became one of the most artistically flourishing, as contact with Venetian artists introduced aspects of the Italian Renaissance into Cretan art, especially in terms of techniques and materials. There was a contamination between the two styles that led, between the 16th and 17th centuries, to the birth of a new style.

Early 19th-Century Central European School, Christ The Saviour

Located in Cheltenham, GB

This early 19th-century central European oil painting depicts Christ The Saviour standing atop an orb and carrying a cross over his left shoulder. An unusual composition, Christ’s rather striking posture is perhaps more ‘Saturday Night Fever’ than it is sacramental. However, the iconography is archaic and derived ultimately from New Testament illustrations dating to the Middle Ages. Depictions of orbs are usually symbolic of the universe, while the cross alludes to redemption. Hence, it’s a visual representation of Christ as the Saviour of humanity. Francisco de Zurbarán...
