Antique Oil On Canvas - Christ Blessing - Italian School

A beautiful oil on canvas painting depicting Christ Blessing with a Globe (Salvator Mundi).
This painting, from the Tuscan Baroque period (late 17th/early 18th century), features an old relining and no significant pictorial restorations.
Excellent craftsmanship, measures 42 cm x 29 cm.
The depiction of the Salvator Mundi has been explored by many masters, including Leonardo da Vinci and Antonello da Messina.
Style and Period: Paintings with these characteristics, which feature rapid, abbreviated brushstrokes and rich drapery, such as the blue cloak visible in the image, are often attributed to Italian schools of the 17th or 18th centuries, in a style reminiscent of the Baroque.
Symbolism: The blessing hand with three visible fingers symbolizes the Holy Trinity. The transparent globe (or cruciform globe, sometimes depicted in rock crystal in other versions) represents the world redeemed by Christ's sacrifice.
