[QUOTE="blooey, post: 2449331, member: 12007"]Looks italian school and unless it has been relined, is 19th c. Canvas shows a lot of flexing by the look of all those cracks, but as the rear view looks OK there's a good chance it has been relined. That could mean the flexing took place before the repair which would tend to place the painting earlier in date. Style is certainly older, 17thc -18thc. Check the edges of the work to see if there is a thicker layer of canvas on top of the backing canvas. Nice quality old master BTW Is this a large (life-size) piece ?[/QUOTE]
