Carle VAN LOO (1705-1765). - Lot 30
Carle VAN LOO (1705-1765). Descent from the Cross. Canvas, signed lower left. Height : 54 cm ; Width : 38 cm. Our composition can be compared to François-Philippe Charpentier's engraving after Carle Van Loo, circa 1762-1763, with several variations in the poses of Christ and the Magdalene, certain details in the background and the arrangement of objects on the ground, which are absent in our sketch. A preparatory drawing for Basan's engraving is kept at the Albertina in Vienna (inv. 15268).
