17th Century Panel Depicting Christ By Correggio

Oil on panel - Collector's stamp on the back. This panel was painted in the 17th century by a talented follower who reproduced the famous work of Correggio (1489, 1534) currently in the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. Called the Veil of Veronica (or Head of Christ). The motif represented here is the result of the precise moment when, on the way to Calvary, a woman removed her veil to wipe the face of the Messiah. The image of the face of Jesus Christ was placed on the linen handkerchief, and it was miraculously preserved through the centuries, becoming an object of worship.
