Large Antique Oil on Canvas Painting of Christ on the Cross in Ebonized Frame

About the Item

Marvellous work of religious art. This striking and sizeable painting of Christ on the cross is an impressive sight to see and for more reasons than one. The incredibly well painted, pale body of Christ contrasting strongly against the dark and ominous looking background makes Christ, in His agonizing position, look even more vulnerable. We feel that this is what this larger than average painting is about, because, looking at the face of Christ, the painter has chosen to portray Jesus in His moment of deepest dispair. It seems to be the moment when He calls out "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?". With that the artist may be showing us that we can all lose hope/faith sometimes, but we should try to never give up. Then, in the centre of this vulnerable painting of Christ, there is one of the best painted loincloths you will ever find (see image 4). In that same fragment you can also witness the incredible beauty of the anatomical details in the belly and upper legs of Christ. For a painting to portray such agony on the one hand, combined with such incredible softness and beauty on the other, to us, makes it very powerful and a true work of art. Light and dark are very much present in this painting and, except for nightfall, the darkness in the back may also represent what will happen (and may already have happened) to life on earth when this is how we treat those who are truthful and who bring light. Prior to shipping, the excellent condition, ebonized wooden frame with the golden banding will be strengthened in the corners so it will again be as strong as it was when it was first handcrafted. Mind you, our fair price for this impressive and sizable antique painting with its original wooden frame includes perfect packing (in a custom made crate) and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Maximum height x width x depth (including the frame) 51.4 x 39 x 1.57 inches. Height x width x depth of the painting only 41.7 x 30.1 x 0.79 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for artistic and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by.

Large Antique Italian School Oil on Canvas Painting Apparition of Mary to James

Located in Lisse, NL

Large size antique Gothic Art painting 'The Apparition of the Virgin Mary to Saint James'. We are by no means connoisseurs when it comes to antique paintings, but we have seen enough antique paintings to know when something is special, decorative and truly inspiring and interesting to look at. And the large size of this antique work of art, makes it impressive too. Also, because it must have taken one very skilled painter an awful lot of time (probably weeks, if not months) to hand-paint this famous religious scene. According to ancient local tradition, on January 2nd of the year AD 40, the Virgin Mary appeared to James on the bank of the Ebro River at Caesaraugusta, while he was preaching the Gospel in Iberia. Looking at the perfectly painted ancient landscape and the kneeling figure who is in awe of what he is witnessing (by the river bank) we believe this is in fact the apparition of Mary to James. Following that apparition, by the way, St. James returned to Judea, where he was beheaded by King Herod Agrippa the first (in the year AD 44). Judging from the skillfully painted individuals in the Renaissance Style and the striking and lively colors, we believe, this late 1800s painting is the work of a true artisan. This work of religious art on the back reads 'Sacerdote Salvatore Rosa, Dipinse 1889' which means Priest Salvatore Rosa, Painted 1889. This priest clearly had a god given talent and god bless him for having created this masterpiece. Apart from some minor imperfections this large and nostalgic painting is in very good condition and we believe it will look particularly great in a church, monastery or chapel. At the same time, a one of a kind antique like this will ofcourse also look great atop the stairwell of a mansion or in the entry hall of a French castle etc. We don't know the 'exact' value of this large size antique painting...

17th century Christ in chains Oil on canvas, 95 x 71 cm Frame 110 x 84 cm The figurative tradition representing Christ with chained hands can be traced back to the early Middle Ages, when an iconography of His pains spread widely. The need to translate the Passion into images aimed to raise awareness of the forgiveness that has occurred for all men, consequent to the Crucifixion. This painting depicts the moment before the audience before Pilate. Christ has not yet been cruelly mocked by the soldiers, despite the fact that he is already wearing the crown of thorns and the purple...
