Lot 235: Orazio Farinati

Orazio Farinati
Verona 1559 - after 1616
the entombment
oil on canvas
48.3 by 63.2 cm.; 19 by 25 in.
This composition is based on a design by Paolo Farinati, Orazio's father, which exists in a number of variants, both in vertical and horizontal format, painted both on canvas and slate. The present work however relates most closely to the painting by Orazio offered in these Rooms, 6 July 2000, lot 165.
We are grateful to Mr. Terence Mullaly for confirming the attribution to Orazio Farinati upon first hand inspection.
