- “Saint James — after El Greco”
Original artwork description
A painterly study after El Greco’s Saint James the Less.
This reinterpretation preserves the expressive turn of the figure, elongated proportions and spiritual charge characteristic of El Greco, while introducing a more contemporary brushwork and freer chromatic vibration.
Oil on canvas, 60×50 cm (24×20 in).
The surface features subtle craquelure in the chalk gesso ground — stable and without flaking — adding an aged and authentic character to the work.
Signed lower left.
Ideal for collectors of Old Masters, sacred motifs, modern figurative expression and interior statement pieces.
Materials used:
Oil
Details:
- Oil painting on Canvas
- One of a kind artwork
- Size: 50 x 60 x 2cm (unframed) / 50 x 60cm (actual image size)
