About the Item

A refined 17th-century Italian painting. Oil on canvas artwork depicting the condemnation and martyrdom of the four crowned saints: Claudius, Nicostratus, Castorius, and Symphorian. According to tradition, the four were skilled stonemasons and refused to create pagan sculptures for the Emperor, professing their Christian faith. On the right, we see Emperor Diocletian pronouncing sentence, pointing to a classical statue of the god Apollo. Two men with bound arms are led before him, while in the background, two other men kneel about to be beheaded. We see the executioner with his sword raised, while in the sky, a winged cherub holds the palm of martyrdom. The protagonists are depicted in historical dress, and the composition is rich in wonderful details, notably a jester in the foreground sitting on the steps, playing with a sweet little dog. This artwork is attributed to the Bolognese painter Giuliano Dinarelli (1629-1671), a favorite student of Guido Reni and a specialist in religious scenes. (The painting does not currently come with an expertise, but one can be requested upon payment of the relevant additional costs.) This rare painting is perfect for cultured and discerning collectors, ideal for refined settings and prestigious professional studios. The painting has already been restored with re-lining, replacement of the stretcher, and re-coloring in small areas. Overall, it is in good condition.

Religious Subject Oil on Canvas Italy XVII Century
Located in Milan, IT
Oil painting on canvas. It is a vintage copy of the engraving of the same name made by Annibale Carracci (1560-1609), which had immediate success and gave rise to a series of printed replicas and painted copies. It presents the moment of the Passion in which Christ is crowned with the crown of thorns, the object of torture, the disparaging symbol of his proclamation as King of Kings. The act is performed by two figures, the Roman soldier and the Jew, representing the two people who they took part in Christ's death sentence. The figures, vigorous and sanguine, those of the two tormentors paler and more inert than the victim, create an intertwined composition of bodies, with that of the central Jesus joining the other two, uniting them in the shared responsibility of what they are doing; placed sideways, Jesus has his head bent forcibly to the left by the soldier who imposes the crown of thorns on him, while the Jew on the right places the bamboo cane in his hand, replacing the scepter. The scene is dominated by gloomy and dark colors, among which only the bright red of Christ's robe stands...
