Description:

after GUIDO RENI (Italian 1575-1642) A CONTINENTAL BAROQUE STYLE PAINTING, "St. Jerome Reading," 18TH CENTURY, oil on canvas, unsigned. 12 1/4" x 10" NOTE: The composition of this painting is repeated by Continental artists, beginning as early as the 15th century. An early comparison, Albrecht Durer's (German 1471-1528) drypoint, "St. Jerome by the Pollard Willow," created 1512. In approximately 1615/1616 Anthony van Dyck paints "St. Jerome," that continues the traditional composition.

  • Condition: Darkened paint throughout, some craquelure, cracking near edges at stretchers, likely had restoration work in the 19th and 20th century, laid to antique canvas, some inpainting mostly near edges, and a varnish has . been applied, but overall in good to very good condition, wear commensurate with age.
