About the Item

This enchanting late 19th-century French oil painting depicts the head of a bearded man. Rendered with an abundance of consideration and feeling, the introspection of the figure portrayed is palpable. A monogram in the lower right reads ‘HD’, but the artist is yet to be determined. One lead is Henri-Camille Danger (1857-1939), a French painter known for historical, allegorical and mythological subjects, such as his ‘La Transgression du Commandement’ (1892). How the piece came into being is a mystery. It’s conceivably one of three things: a study for a larger work, an academic piece, or a partial copy of an old master. If it’s the latter, stylistically it’s likely to be after a piece from the Baroque period. Either way, it possesses a quiet, honest charm. It’s one to ponder over. Held in a contemporary frame. Provenance: Private collection, France. Our reference: BRV2119

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...
