Oil on canvas, relined Holland, 17th century After a painting by Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641), Alte Pinakothek Munich Wooden frame with gilt trim Overall dimensions, framed: 94.5 x 127 cm Provenance: Collection tenor Michele Tiziano, Germany The present painting of the Lamentation of Christ is the work of a Dutch artist active in the 17th century. It follows a composition by Sir Anthony Van Dyck, now in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich. The painting, mainly known by the distribution of engravings, was always much copied. Also the present version probably derives from an engraving, as it is on reverse. The canvas has been relined. The paint surface is slightly thin in parts, and discolored strengthening is visible to some of the darker details. Inspection under UV light reveals a number of scattered areas of retouching and restoration, mainly affecting the background, flesh tones and costumes. There is a long, repaired scratch above Maria's right shoulder. The wooden frame shows minor wear marks. The overall dimensions, framed, are 94.5 x 127 cm. The stretcher measures 80 x 113 cm. Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641) The Flemish painter and graphic artist Anthony van Dyck was born in Antwerp and mainly painted portraits. He was a collaborator of Peter Paul Rubens. He received his artistic training with the painter Hendrick van Balen (1575-1632). In 1620, van Dyck traveled to England and soon entered into the service of James I. He studied works of the Italian Renaissance in the courtly art collection and was inspired by Veronese and Titian. In 1632, van Dyck moved to London. He there worked as court painter and portraitist for Charles I, who raised him to the peerage. The largest collection of van Dyck's works is still in the property of the English Crown. Further works are on display in important museum collections, including the Tate Britain in London and the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig.
