Early 19th Century Oil Painting of Jesus on Copper Panel

About the Item

Early 19th Century Oil Painting of Jesus on Copper Panel. Presented is an early 19th-century artwork, meticulously rendered with oil on a copper substrate, capturing the visage of Jesus Christ. This portrait embodies the artistic practices and stylistic tendencies of the period, characterised by its warm colour palette. Medium: Oil on copper. Date: Early 1800s. Dimensions: Height - 37.5 cm; Width - 32.5 cm; Depth - 3.3 cm. Weight: 1142 grams. Frame: Housed within a period-appropriate gilt wooden frame. Condition Report: The passage of time is evident in the wear on both the painting and the copper, as depicted in the accompanying images. There is a strong indication that the artist's signature was once present, but it has since been obscured due to the natural aging process. Context: During the early 19th century, religious subjects, notably the representation of Jesus Christ's face, held a prominent place in Western art. Such depictions were not merely acts of devotion but also reflected the socio-cultural and religious sentiments of the time. The choice of copper as a support was not uncommon in this era. Prized for its smooth surface and longevity, copper allowed artists to achieve fine details in their work. The use of warm tones in this piece is suggestive of the Romanticism movement, where emotion and individualism took precedence over the earlier Neoclassical traditions. It should also be noted that paintings from this period often sought to capture the serene and compassionate nature of Christ, contrasting with some earlier depictions which might have emphasised his divine and majestic qualities. A piece of significant historical and artistic merit, this painting will undoubtedly be a cherished acquisition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
