18th-Century German School Religious Oil Painting painting  religious painting oil painting %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
An evocative 18th-century provincial depiction of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s an atmospheric old piece that was probably originally housed in a church or private place of worship.

Christ is dressed in red and white robes and bears several marks from his crucifixion. Blood runs from his crown of thorns and the wounds on his body.

In his right hand, he carries some wheat, which is synonymous with traditional Christian iconography. Throughout the centuries, wheat has been used in art to signify resurrection, sacrifice and death.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.” John 12:24-26.

The painting is housed within a suitable later frame.

Medium: Oil on canvas
Overall size: 21½” x 28½” / 55cm x 72cm
Year of creation: c. 1750
Provenance: Germany
Condition: The canvas is formed of thick woven linen as is typical for the 18th century. It has craquelure throughout but the paint layer is stable. There’s a little dirt in areas but overall it’s very presentable. Canvas relined and stretchers replaced. Frame with some light age-related wear.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.

Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.

Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.

If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
