Description

A very interesting and archaic religious piece depicting the twelve apostles painted on vellum and laid to a wooden panel. It has been suggested that the artist was a follower of Maarten van Heemskerck (1498-1574). It is certainly an ancient piece and we believe that it could be late 16th to early 17th Century. It has an Italianate feel which is in keeping with Heemskerck since he studied in Italy. The condition is good with some wear commensurate with its age. Overall, a fabulous and rare piece.

Maarten van Heemskerck or Marten Jacobsz Heemskerk van Veen was a Dutch portrait and religious painter, who spent most of his career in Haarlem. He was a pupil of Jan van Scorel, and adopted his teacher's Italian-influenced style. He spent the years 1532–36 in Italy.

FAQs

Northern Renaissance panel paintings typically feature meticulous detail, deep theological symbolism, and realistic human expressions influenced by Netherlandish masters.

Artists traditionally used seasoned hardwoods such as oak or poplar, applying a gesso ground layer over the wood before painting in oils or tempera.

Authenticity is determined by examining wood grain patterns, natural oxidisation, tool marks on the reverse, pigment composition, and the presence of historic craquelure.

Mount the panel on a neutral wall with minimalist lighting to create a striking focal point that contrasts contemporary furnishings with historical depth.

Maintain stable relative humidity between 45-55 percent and a consistent temperature away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood warping and paint cracking.
