Description

After Sir Anthony van Dyck, 19th CenturyThe Rest on the Flight into Egypt oil on canvas 135 x 115cmFootnote: The present painting is a copy after the original by van Dyck dated 1630, now in the Alte Pinakothek, Munich. CONDITIONOil on canvas which has not been lined. The tacking edges are fragile and have torn along the upper and left hand sides. Due to the this the canvas has poor tension and undulations. At the lower right corner is an old damage which has been repaired from the reverse with a patch. The adhesive used for the patch has caused swelling and deformation to the original canvas in this area. The fill covering the paint loss is smooth and uneven. Overall the paint layer is in a good condition with a few localised areas of abrasion. Areas of retouching are fairly well matched to the original. The varnish is thick, glossy and slightly yellowed.
