Pellegrino 1485-Venice 1545) Workshop Oil on canvas Antique gilded frame Canvas dimensions 95 x 75 cm frame 110 x 88 cm Excellent condition The painting depicts with intense drama the famous scene of the three grieving Marys over the lifeless body of Christ, supported by Joseph of Arimathea. The canvas exhibits all the characteristics of Venetian painting from the first half of the 16th century, particularly within the Venetian sphere. The remarkable quality of the work, with evident Bellinian influences, leads us to attribute its creation to the renowned workshop of Francesco Rizzo da Santacroce (Venice 1485-1545), specialized in the production of religious subjects with multiple figures and "Sacred Conversations". The protagonists of his paintings, portrayed in profile in static and hieratic poses, are his descriptive hallmark. The typically Venetian contrasting colors in the various expanses are also characteristic of his works. The painting is in excellent condition, with a healthy paint layer and a fine and pleasing craquelure. Old 19th-century re-lining executed according to the rules of art. Beautiful patina with splendid coloring. The work is of excellent quality, and its excellent condition allows for a perfect viewing experience.
