- Lot Description
Europe, Spain or Portugal, ca. 18th century CE. A dramatic oil on canvas depicting a devout elderly bearded man, perhaps a Franciscan monk, looking upward with teary eyes, his hands clasped in prayer. The blue robe shown in this painting is not surprising for Franciscans of this time period, as the monks favored blue robes which symbolized their steadfast devotion to the immaculateness of the Virgin Mary. It was not until the papal decree of 1897 that brown became the universal color of Franciscan habits. The rich, deep colors and dramatic chiaroscuro or tenebroso - a treatment of light and shade that results in strong, theatrical contrasts between light and shadow- as well as the sense that the artist has chosen to present a climactic moment - are all quintessential characteristics of Baroque art which was meant to evoke passion and emotion rather than the tranquil, serene ideal favored during the Renaissance. A wonderful portrayal of an oval composition and set in an attractive gilt frame. Size: 13.375" L x 10.375" W (34 cm x 26.4 cm); 17" L x 14" W (43.2 cm x 35.6 cm) framed
Provenance: private Los Angeles County, California, USA collection

#136541Nice craquelure across the surface. Some normal darkening and wear commensurate with age, but the wonderful image and the artist's command of tenebroso still comes through. A few chips and wear to the frame finish, but otherwise frame is in nice condition.Condition
