Ecce Homo Christ Paint Oil on canvas 17th Century Old master Leonardo Italian

1630-1699

About the Item

Lombard painter of the seventeenth century Ecce Homo Oil painting on canvas 56 x 43 cm. , framed 75 x 63 cm. Provenance: Florence, Pandolfini, 5.10.2021, lot 209 The proposed canvas, the work of a Lombard painter active in the seventeenth century, shows the image of Christ portrayed according to the iconography of the Ecce Homo, with a crown of thorns placed over his long hair, stripped of his clothes, waiting for the his immediate crucifixion on Golgotha … Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns. Pilate said to them: "Here is the man." Seeing him, the chief priests and the henchmen shouted: "Crucify him, crucify him" (Gospel of John 19.5). This type of representation of Christ, defined precisely Ecce Homo and which, as specified, takes precedence at the moment of his Crucifixion, after being arrested and scourged, while he is made the object of ridicule by the Roman soldiers, who crown him with thorns as a sign of mockery of the one who had proclaimed himself the King of Kings, spread in the sixteenth century, giving rise to particularly intense creations. The image reconciles the remarkable spiritual strength of Christ in his moment of human suffering with a refined elegance, supported by the superb descriptive ability of the face that stands out from the dark background. Although Ecce Homo is not an 'easy' subject, in our case it is not a work treated with a strong dramatic sense, but equally capable of moving. Waiting for his martyrdom, what strikes is his face which appears imperturbable and not at all suffering, but also serene, to evoke the forgiveness that he has granted to his executioners. The canvas is in good condition, considering the time. The painting, like all our objects, is sold with a certificate of photographic authenticity in accordance with the law.

  • Portrait Noblewoman Dog Van Loo Paint 18th Century Oil on canvas Old master Art
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    Louis Michel van Loo (Toulon 1707- Paris 1771) attributable Portrait of a noblewoman with her little dog Oil on canvas (79 x 66 cm. - with frame 92 x 78 cm.) A qualitative portrait depicting an elegant noblewoman of French origin, presumably belonging to the wealthy court of Versailles during the reign of Louis XV; this work fully reflects the pictorial qualities as well as the refinement of the compositional style of the French painter Louis Michel van Loo (1707- 1771), one of the most significant portrait painters of his time, and for this reason in demand at the most noble European courts. The work, taking up the traditional formula for portraits of members of the aristocracy, shows the effigy in a half-length pose, slightly turned to the right and looking directly at the viewer. The woman, with a regal bearing, is here portrayed intent on completing her daily beauty ritual, wearing a cape during her make-up, which must have just been completed as pink powder is visible on her cheeks. This luxurious garment reveals a corset with a daring neckline, made of silk and lace, and a coral-coloured dress ending in wide jabote cuffs. Her hair is styled in the French fashion in a hairstyle that highlights her facial features. Having finished her beauty ritual, the woman is intent on removing her cape with one hand, an elegant gesture that emphasises her noble pose. At her side is her small pet dog, sitting on a blue velvet cushion with gold trim. The canvas may have been made on the occasion of a wedding, elegantly celebrating the role of a member of the aristocracy. The presence of the pet depicted in her arms had in fact a precise meaning: the fidelity that is such a well-known characteristic of the dog, declared at the same time the virtues of the effigy. Louis Michel van Loo (Toulon 1707- Paris 1771) was the son of the painter Jean Baptiste van Loo, with whom he studied in Rome and Turin. He attended the Paris Academy, where he won the first prize for painting in 1726. In 1728 he returned to Rome, where he met Francois Boucher. In 1732, passing through Turin, he returned to Paris. In 1737 van Loo became court painter in Madrid, succeeding Jean Ranc...
