Lot 1
Anonymous (probably Spanish school, active IXX century). "Crucifixion" oil on wood, n.d. An emotive painting of the Crucifixion that captures the drama and sorrow of Crucified Christ. Jesus' anatomy is skillfully delineated with elongated limbs and a severely emaciated torso and limbs, replete with stigmata (the marks indicative of Christ's Crucifixion wounds) upon the hands, chest, and feet (note the red seed beads pinned through the stigmata on the hands and feet). Aside from the loincloth and crown of thorns, Christ is depicted with as much of his suffering body as is possible. Clearly the artisan of this piece was influenced by theatrical Spanish Baroque depictions of Christ Crucified. The details of Christ's visage, anatomy, pose, coiffure, crown of thorns, and loin cloth were expertly rendered, while the porcelain tone of his skin starkly contrasts the dark background. A stunning, evocative painting from the 19th-century. Size: 8.75" W x 11.25" H (22.2 cm x 28.6 cm)
Provenance: Private collection of important Hollywood family, collected between 1930 and 1980
