OFFERED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS A GENUINE ANTIQUE 18TH CENTURY SPANISH COLONIAL SCHOOL HAND PAINTED OIL ON CANVAS DEPICTING SAINT JOHN THE EVANGELIST (APOSTLE) THIS MAGNIFICENT DEVOTIONAL ARTWORK WAS INITIALLY HARD TO IDENTIFY BUT AFTER MUCH RESEARCH WE FOUND A SIMILAR PAINTING THAT HAS GIVEN US A MUCH BETTER IDEA ABOUT THIS ARTWORK. PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I WILL SEND YOU A MUSEUM LINK THAT SHOWS STRONG SIMILARITIES TO THIS PAINTING. THE FACE, EYES, NOSE, BROW, NECK LINE AND EAR ARE ALL VERY SIMILAR. THE SLIGHTLY OPENED MOUTH AND THE DELICATE TREATMENT OF THE HANDS ARE VERY TELLING AS WELL BUT NOT SIMILAR. WITH THIS INFORMATION WE BELIEVE THIS PAINTING IS POTOSI SCHOOL. THIS ARTWORK IS BY NO MINOR ARTIST EITHER , STYLISTICALLY IT IS AN ACCOMPLISHED WORK FOR ITS TIME. DEPCTED IS ST JOHN THE EVANGELIST HOLDING QUILL FEATHER IN HIS RIGHT HAND WHILE PENNING THE APOCOLYPSE , HIS LEFT HAND SEPARATING THE PAGES. A GOLDEN CHALICE LIES ACROSS HIS GOSPEL WITH A SERPENT EXTENDING UPWARDS FROM WITHIN THE GOBLET. AN EAGLE RESTING ON JOHNS ARM STARES DOWN INTENTLY AT THE SERPENT. THESE ATTRIBUTES TELL US FOR CERTIAN THE APOSTLE IS JOHN THE EVANGELIST. ARTIST: UNKNOWN OLD MASTER- PROBABLY BOLIVIAN. CONDITION: THIS PAINTING IS CURRENTLY IN STABLE CONDITION FOR IT’S AGE. HOWEVER THERE IS AT LEAST ONE AREA OF RESTORATION AROUND HIS LEFT HAND WITH WHICH HIS FINGERS SEPERATE THE PAGES OF THE GOSPEL. ALSO ANOTHER AREA ON THE EAGLES FOOT WHICH RESTS UPON HIS RED GARMENT. ALSO ANOTHER AREA AROUND THE BASE OF THE CHALICE. THERE ARE SEVERAL SUPERFICIAL SCRATCHES/LOSSES PARTICULARLY FOLLOWING THE BORDER OF WHERE A FRAME ONCE HOUSED THIS WORK. THE PAINTED AREA OF THE HAIR SEEMS VERY THIN ALMOST UNFINISHED. THESE ARE MY OBSERVATIONS. IT HAS BEEN RE-LINED PROBABLY IN THE 19TH CENTURY. I HAVE HAD IT HANGING IN MY HOUSE AND HAVE NOT FELT IT NECESSARY TO CHANGE ANYTHING. IT IS READY TO HANG IF YOU DON’T MIND THE ABOVE IMPERFECTIONS. MEASUREMENTS: 65 CM WIDE X 85 CM HIGH (APPROX 25.6 ” X 33.5 “). PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR INTERESTING ITEMS. The item “ANTIQUE ST.

Measures approx: 10″ high by 14″ wide. Overall in good condition with minor surface wear as expected for its age as seen in photos.
