"Juan De Juanes (1500/10-1579), Follower Of - True Image Of The Virgin"
- Oil on canvas. Old relined. - The theological impossibility of knowing the authentic physiognomy of biblical characters led, for a good part of the Middle Ages and the modern period, to the proliferation of so-called true images, inspired by the acheropoietic portraits and effigies produced by prodigies and miracles. This image of the Virgin, by a Castilian artist from the end of the 16th century, represents the crystallization of these efforts in an inspired, emotional and poetic painting that is also presented in a magnificent frame. - Dimensions of the unframed image: 36 x 26 cm / 58 x 47 cm with magnificent old frame.
