Product Name: 19TH CENTURY ICON PAINTING OIL ON CANVAS shops CHRIST ST JOSEPH & JESUS RELIGIOUS
19TH CENTURY ICON PAINTING OIL ON CANVAS CHRIST ST JOSEPH & JESUS RELIGIOUS. Joseph & Baby shops Jesus antique unknown age 1850 ish condition: as this is old there is paint cracking under the glass and there are worn spots to the canvas. There are cracks to the wood frame and wear. approx measurements: framed: 18" x 14" inside frame: 14.25" x 10" I believe that the frame/glass was added as an afterthought to protect an older work of art. Lillies are a symbol of Joseph and he is often shown holding them. Which makes it somewhat easy to identify him in iconography. We have had this painting for over 30 years, I think when I bought it the date was visible as 1850 and I think the writing is Italian and it is oil, but I can't read/translate any of it.
