Flemish school: Simon Stock receiving the scapular from Mary, oil on canvas, 17th/18th C.

1354

Work: ca. 221 x 205,5 cm

Frame: 232,3 x 217 cm

 

The work bears the signature 'J.P. de Roose', presumably referring to Jacob Paulus de Roose, who became a free master in the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1729/1730. However, his oeuvre is completely unknown (only one work can be found in the RKD, link). 

 

Condition: (UV-checked)

- In good and hangable condition (considering the size of the painting, it is actually in very good condition).

- Relined.

- The UV-light shows foremost the typical colour of the varnish, with touch-ups and restorations all-over, hardly touching the central figures (with the exception of the mantle of Simon Stock).
