Description: | The centre of this painting is occupied by Christ who extends his hand to heal Malchus's ear. Malchus, the young servant of the chief priest, had been wounded by Saint Peter during the arrest of Christ in Gethsemane. The over-crowded composition and the dramatic lighting recall the treatment of this subject by Caravaggio and his followers. This might be the work of one of many Netherlandish painters who emulated Caravaggio's expressive style in the 1620s. | Subjects: | religion (Christ Healing the Ear of Malchus) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Finson, Louis (Flemish painter, ca.1580-1617) Æ Attributed to circle of Previously attributed to Flemish School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8988... | Go to resource |
