Description: | It is thought that this work was painted by an artist working in the studio of Quinten Metsys, one of the leading painters in sixteenth century Antwerp. The original painting by Metsys, from which this is derived, is now in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp. It in turn is a modernisation and refinement of the crowning figure of Christ in Hubert and Jan van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece (c.1423-32, St Bavo, Ghent). Some scholars placed the original work in the early part of Metsys's career, around 1491-1507 (L. Silver's Catalogue Raisonne) but others point to the goldsmith work as indicating a date in the 1520s (M. Campbell and T. Shroder). The studio presumably continued to produce versions for many years until Metsys painted a completely different version of Christ Blessing in 1529 (Museo del Prado, Madrid). | Subjects: | religion (Christ blessing) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Metsys, Quinten (South Netherlandish painter, 1466-1530) Æ Studio of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8697... | Go to resource |
