Lot no. 49
Italian school. 16th - 17th century. The Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence. Oil on copper. 36 x 47 cm. Of marvellous pictorial quality, with a loose and precise stroke, the author achieves, with little paint, an expressiveness and precision worthy of a master. However, this master, for the moment, remains unidentified. The scene takes place at night, with intimate and moving chiaroscuro, which gives the image an incredibly unnerving atmosphere. Provenance: - Descendants of the Marquis of Cáceres.
