17th-Century Baroque Crucifixion with Centurion, After Lucas Cranach the Elder
Evocative 17th-century Baroque oil on canvas, inspired by Lucas Cranach the Elder’s iconic “Crucifixion with the Converted Centurion” (c. 1536–1539).
The solitary figure of Christ on the cross is powerfully lit in strong tenebrist manner, emerging from near-black darkness. Below right, the Roman centurion on horseback looks up in revelation, his vivid red cloak providing bold contrast.
Central European school, blending Cranach’s Protestant composition with Caravaggesque chiaroscuro and expressive brushwork for intense spiritual impact.
Oil on linen canvas with visible impasto, natural craquelure and rich patina confirming age and authenticity. In period carved and gilded frame. Good antique condition; displays beautifully as-is.
A compelling devotional piece for collectors of Old Master-inspired Baroque religious art.
Provenance:
Formerly in a European private collection; acquired on the Vienna antiques market (Austria). The object has been in Europe for several decades.
