Description

  • Neroccio di Bartolommeo di Benedetto de' Landi del Poggio
  • Madonna and Child with two Saints
  • oil on panel, gold ground

Condition

The actual painting is softer in tone than the catalogue illustration suggests. The thick wood panel consists of two planks joined horizontally, and is slightly damaged to the reverse. The join is visible to the front and has split a little. The panel is slightly bowed. There's a tendency towards flaking along the join and in the figure of the child. Extensive retouchings can be observed throughout, which is confirmed by inspection under UV light. The paint surface is under a dirty varnish layer. Offered in a plain wood frame with a moulded fillet in fair condition. (ML/MW)
