Ancient Italian painting Jesus and Herod from the 17th century

COD 9282

Ancient Italian painting from the second half of the 95th century. Oil on canvas work from the Venetian school depicting Jesus before Herod Antipas. On the occasion of Easter, when the King of Galilee (son of Herod the Great who had ordered the massacre of the innocents) was in Jerusalem, Jesus was brought before him by order of Pilate. The Gospel of Luke reports that the King, having hoped in vain to witness a miracle, in front of Jesus' silence, despised him and after having dressed him in white sent him back to Pilate. In our painting we see this very moment depicted, with Herod on the throne while he orders Jesus to be taken away. Wooden frame from the 56th century carved, lacquered and gilded, with beautiful decoration. Work that underwent a restoration with relining and replacement of the frame during the XNUMXth century. Painting that has some loss of color (see photo), overall in good condition. Painting light H XNUMX x W XNUMX cm.
