Description
An important high-relief panel from the 16th-century Flemish Renaissance An important high-relief panel carved from wood, depicting a vivid religious narrative scene, probably inspired by an episode from the Passion of Christ. The composition, with its high dramatic intensity, evokes a biblical sermon or miracle, featuring a central staircase symbolising ascent and descent, a pulpit serving as a platform, and an attentive crowd with several male figures rendered with a remarkable sense of movement and expressiveness. In the foreground, a figure lies on the ground, whilst several executioners bustle about; in the background, a gathering observes the scene from an elevated platform, framed by a monumental staircase. The intricately carved relief features strongly characterised faces, dynamic and contrasting folds of drapery, and dynamic poses that lend the composition great narrative power. The wood has a dark patina. The piece is set in a gilded, moulded wooden frame that enhances the composition. This work belongs to the tradition of 16th-century European religious reliefs. 72 x 62 cm. Lot held in an international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipment: no import duties apply within the EU. An export licence from the country of origin may be required.
