Ancient painting Jesus and Herod from the 17th century

COD: 9282

Ancient Italian painting from the second half of the 95th century. Oil on canvas from the Venetian school depicting Jesus in front of Herod Antipas. On the occasion of Easter, the King of Galilee (son of Herod the Great who had ordered the massacre of the innocents) was in Jerusalem and 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, faced Jesus' silence, despised him and, after dressing 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. 56th century carved, lacquered and gilded wooden frame, beautifully decorated. Work that underwent restoration with relining and replacement of the frame during the XNUMXth century. Painting with some color loss (see photo), overall in good state of conservation. Painting light H XNUMX x W XNUMX cm.
