"Flemish School - The Invention Of The True Cross - 17th Century "
Our oil on copper is from a Flemish school around 1650. It evokes an unusual iconographic theme. It is the discovery of the True Cross by Saint Helena and the presentation of this Christ relic to her son the Emperor Constantine.
Dimensions of the oil 22 cm by 16.
It is highlighted by a magnificent frame in gilded wood, richly carved, of Italian inspiration more than Flemish. Dimensions of the whole 48 cm by 31. Good condition. Some missing parts.
A piece appraised by Mr. René Millet.
