Antique Italian painting Jesus and Herod from 17th century

Creator: The Holy Bible / Biblical
Offered by: Parino Mercato Antiquario

Description
Antique Italian painting from the second half of the 17th century. Oil on canvas artwork 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. 20th century carved, lacquered and gilded wooden frame, beautifully decorated. Painting that underwent restoration with relining and replacement of the frame during the 20th century. Painting with some color drops (see photo), overall in good state of conservation. Sight size H 95 x W 56 cm.
