Antoon Van Dyck School Of, Antwerp 1599 - London 1641; The Crowning With Thorns, Oil On Copper

Antoon van Dyck school of
The crowning with thorns
Olio on copper
in 15,55x20,28

The painting can be dated to the 17th century, based on both the copper support and the pictorial material. It clearly references the painting of the same subject by the Flemish artist Antoon van Dyck, both in theme and in style. The work is attributable to the Flemish school. This 17th-century oil on copper depicts the same subject as van Dyck’s Crowning with Thorns. The strong stylistic references and thematic adherence suggest it was produced by a school that developed within the Flemish context, likely while van Dyck was still active. In particular, the chromatic range, the anatomical rendering of the figures, and the intense pathos conveyed in the image of Christ during the Passion all point to the influence of van Dyck’s dramatic and emotional style.
