Superb Italian watercolour after Correggio

£695.00

A superb watercolour painting after the original work ‘The mystic marriage of Saint Catherine’ by Correggio. The painting is beautifully created in exquisite detail and heightened with gum Arabic. The original painting is held in The Louvre and It has often been a source of inspiration to artists, in the 19th century it was copied by Louis Gustave Ricard, and several times by Fantin-Latour. The colours are bright and true and the whole is in very good condition. The reverse shows that the work was created in Rome but the artist’s name is somewhat illegible. The painting was most likely purchased in Italy and framed in England. The superb gilt frame is the original and retains the original gilding with just some minor areas of restoration. The whole is an excellent example of this type of Grand Tour work and has a wonderful country house look. C.1880.
Overall sizes in inches including frame: 12 ½ by 14
