About the Item

Anthoon van Dyck (Antwerp 1599 - London 1641) workshop Christ Carrying the Cross - 17th century Oil on canvas (120 x 94 cm - framed 140 x 112 cm). This remarkable canvas, depicting the Christ Carrying the Cross, possesses the stylistic features that characterise the refined Flemish production of the early 17th century, and in particular can be traced back to the workshop of Anthoon van Dyck (Antwerp 1599 - London 1641), one of the most influential and celebrated painters of the Flemish Baroque. The moment represented is one of the most intense of the Passion, the one in which Christ, after having suffered the mockery and torture of his tormentors, is loaded with the weight of the cross and begins the climb to Calvary, where he will meet his death. Although this is an iconographic formula that traditionally identifies a dramatic moment, which focuses attention on the sufferings of Christ, here we see him depicted without the slightest sign of the torture he suffered and without the crown of thorns on his head. The only exception is the marks of the nails on his hands, which foreshadow the destiny he will have to face, without dwelling on it excessively. His body, with its perfect form, appears strong and healthy, and does not give in to the weight of the cross, while on his face we see a thoughtful expression but one of great serenity, and the image is so composed that the movement is almost forgotten. The painting is beautifully composed, in perfect harmony with Baroque art, characterised by rich tones, the deep red drape being the perfect example, and a dramatic use of light and shadow that emphasises the pathos of the moment. The painting is based on, albeit with modifications, the model of Christ Carrying the Cross by Anton Van Dyck, now kept in Genoa at the Musei di Strada Nuova This painting on wood completed a series of the Twelve Apostles, once present in the Genoese Serra picture gallery, currently divided among various collections around the world. An early work, dating from the period of Van Dyck's activity prior to his arrival in Genoa, it can be compared with a similar subject by Rubens. In fact, the influence of the older master is also evident in the style. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: The painting is sold complete with a tasteful frame and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and an iconographic description.

Resurrection Christ Tiziano 16/17th Century paint Oil on canvas Old master Italy
By Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576)
Located in Riva del Garda, IT
The Resurrection of Christ Follower of Tiziano Vecellio (Pieve di Cadore 1490 - Venice 1576)   Venetian school of the late 16th/early 17th century Oil on canvas 108 x 78 cm. - Framed 129 x 99 cm. This jewel of the Venetian school, a work executed between the 16th and 17th centuries by a Venetian artist, illustrates the episode of the Resurrection of Christ: as reported in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 28:1-7) the event is accompanied by an explosion of light and glow, with the figure of Christ rising into the sky. Christ's face, serene and victorious, looks up towards the Light and the Infinite, in contrast to his majestic figure, here constructed with the appearance of a classical sculpture, contrasted by an intensely luminous background. The Risen One firmly holds in His hand the banner (white with a red cross) of the Resurrection, also known as the flag of St. George, which iconographically represents His victory over death, while raising His right hand in a blessing act. With his feet he crushes a snake and a skull, a sign of Christ's triumph over sin and death. The painting belongs to the Venetian school and presents clear reminiscences with the works of Titian Vecellio...

Early 19th-Century Central European School, Christ The Saviour, Oil Painting
Located in Cheltenham, GB
US buyers pay no import tariffs on this item. 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...
