About this lot

Description

Attributed to Marcello Venusti (Italian, 1512-1579) The Flagellation of Christ oil on copper 24.50 x 19cm (10 x 7in)Other Notes: The composition derives from drawings by Michelangelo which he and Sebastiano del Piombo used for their 'Scourging of Christ' in San Pietro in Montorio in Rome. In the present painting, however, the head of Christ is facing in an opposite direction from the Rome painting and the floor and background columns are quite different. Condition: Numerous losses throughout. A small chip to the top right corner of the inner frame.
