Pieta, oil on panel, 19th century
PLATINUM Seller in Milano, Italy
Oil on panel. The painting pictorially re-proposes Michelangelo's famous sculpture, the Pietà of St. Peter or Pieta Vaticana. The composition of the figures is quite faithful to the reference work, but, in addition to being painted in colour, it is set in an open-air setting reminiscent of Renaissance painting, with the hill of Calvary emerging faintly on the left. A coat of arms is painted on the lower left, evoking a noble patronage. The work is presented in a stylish frame. It has several stains and small colour fades.
