Top museum quality painting. Superb colours and composition, incredible warm colours and detail.. " The Holy Child and St John (?)" This painting is a real Masterpiece, an incredible conversation piece. This painting in a ready to hang condition. The jpgs show some reflection. No flaking, no paint loss. The frame, not original to the painting, is more recent, from around 1750-1800, but well matching the painting. We found no signature or monogram at first sight but this can well be hidden in the darker parts of the painting. With an old bronze plaque on the frame stating " Anthony Van Dyck 1599-1641". This is a top museum quality painting, this painting is highly attributed to Anthony Van Dyck ( 1599-1641), studio of, school of, The painting "screams" out top quality. Painter and etcher Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641) was second only to Rubens in 17th-century Flanders. In fact he had worked at the latter's Antwerp studio as a young man. There he had concentrated on painting religious and historical scenes, like his teacher. Van Dyck had a huge impact as a portraitist of affluent burghers. From 1621 to 1627, Van Dyck worked in Italy, particularly in Genoa, where he absorbed the influence of Venetian painters, especially Titian. Later, Van Dyck worked in Flanders for several years, before suddenly leaving for London in 1632. Knighted by Charles I, Sir Anthony became one of the most sought-after artists of the English court. The remarkable elegance with which he portrayed his subjects certainly contributed to his success. In his later years, Van Dyck spent time in both England and the Low Countries.

SOLD Antique, late 18th - early 19th century Spanish Colonial religious oil painting - Retablos on a metal (tin) plate of Mater Dolorosa [Our Lady of Sorrows]. In the 18/19th century, as the Spanish colonial population increased in and around what are today Mexico and New Mexico, imported religious ornaments were not plentiful enough to satisfy the needs of these people, who very pious and dedicated to the church. Retablos responded to the demand for devotional objects of worship used in every home, as well as in churches. For believers, Retablos are much more than images. They are imbued with a saint's spirit, which can be invoked through devotion and prayer. Retablos are intermediaries between heaven and earth who can communicate with God on behalf of their devotees. Saints may be asked to help cure an illness, bring consolation for a loss, avert a disaster, or otherwise provide for the physical and psychological well-being of believers and their loved ones. A saint's power arises from his/her ability to perform requested favors or miracles. Devotees are responsible for keeping the saint satisfied through acts of devotion, and by acknowledging publicly any favor received. Although retablos were hung and placed in churches, colonists also installed them in their homes, especially in the sala or living room, where they could be venerated daily. CONDITION: In its original condition no repairs, or restorations. Minor paint loss, same scratches, slightly bent, two corners damaged. DIMENSIONS: 17.8cm x 12.8 cm (7 in x 5).   « Less
