Spanish School (xvii) - Saint Engrace Of Saragossa, Virgin And Martyr

- Oil on panel. - In one of the contradictions inherent in the Baroque, and in the morbid perversion that certain paintings give off under the sign of the Counter-Reformation, the contrast of the most aesthetic and the most beautiful with the most unpleasant results in an incitement to devotion. Saint Engracia, one of the countless martyrs of Roman Hispania, subjected to all kinds of torture because of her religious zeal towards the wicked governor Dacian, is one of the patron saints of Zaragoza. - Dimensions of the image without frame: 40 x 33 cm / 48 x 40 cm with magnificent framing. - It comes from a private collection of paintings in Seville. - Good general condition. Minimal defects. - This painting constitutes a unique, original and irreplaceable work of art. - Galerie Montbaron attaches a technical sheet drawn up by a qualified art historian with all its lots. This sheet is sent in digital format and on request.
