Old Master School, After Antonio da Correggio (1489-1534, Italy), "Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine," 19th c., oil on canvas, unsigned, inscribed on stretcher en verso "copied from a picture of Correggio in the Museo Borbonico at Naples," presented in a gilt wood frame, H.- 10 1/4 in., W.- 8 1/8 in., Framed H.- 14 3/8 in., W.- 12 3/8 in.

Condition is consistent with age. The canvas looks to have been cleaned at some point. Whoever cleaned this seems to have stripped a lot of the original paint, as the layer of paint seems thin. It also has a heavy layer of varnish, which lights up under black light. One can visibly see the inner rectangle made by the canvas resting on the stretcher for years. This is typically seen on old paintings. Some craquelure visible, particularly in the hands of the mother and child and in the red dress on her knee. Craquelure also visible through back of canvas as well. This is a charming example. ______________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
