Large Oil on Canvas, 19th Century, Pietà, Antique Religious Scene, 92 x 64 cm

  

Large 19th-century oil on canvas - Pietà. Beautiful large oil on canvas depicting a Pietà, an iconic scene in Christian iconography showing the Virgin Mary supporting Christ after the Crucifixion. The work likely dates from the second half of the 19th century and was executed in a high-quality academic religious style. The composition features several figures around the Virgin and Christ, with delicate facial treatment and a soft palette characteristic of religious painting of this period.

An old canvas with authentic patina. Wear-related craquelure across the entire surface. A few areas of paint loss visible on the sides (see photos). Overall, it remains decorative and presents very well.

This work will suit both a collector of antique paintings and an admirer of religious decor or chapel furnishings. Antique item sold in its current condition. Detailed photos form an integral part of the description.
