This is a very detailed antique painting in oil on canvas. The painting depicts a hero / martyr on a gallows podium with the executioner looking on in sympathy while being clutched by a follower and monk as a hooded figure with a wax seal decree skulks away. The background features a mob down below with some in armor and a pale blue and white banner and apparent evidence of perhaps a war in the background. I’d love to know if anyone knows the identity of the figure. It is a very well done painting and measures 18″ x 16″ framed and has all over craquelare with some touch up in an arc around the hooded figure.. The sunset is beautiful and the face of the central figure very sensitively painted.
