"Large Polychrome And Gilded Wooden Panel "annunciation To Saint Joseph" - Early 17th Century."
Large polychrome and gilded wooden panel "Annunciation to Saint Joseph" - Early 17th century. Stunning wooden panel carved with the scene of the Annunciation to Saint Joseph: Joseph, visited by a nocturnal angel who in a dream brings him a heavenly message, the saying of God: do not be afraid to take Mary with you, what is generated by her is an event of the Spirit in harmony with the prophetic writings and your task, by adopting him as a son, is to give him the name: Jesus, "God saves". Which he promptly did. The polychrome bas-relief is slightly arched, the "frame" is richly decorated with gold leaf. The state of conservation is good, taking into consideration the age. It has some worm holes, but the necessary treatment has been carried out. Only a small wooden piece (curl) on the left side (highlighted in the photo) was replaced. The gilding and polychromy are original, the panel is in its first patina, it has not undergone any type of restoration. The dimensions are important: height cm. 95, width cm. 53.5 and depth cm. 19. Period: early 17th century.
