"French School, 17th Century. Attributed to Claude Deruet (1588-1662). Oil Painting"
French School, 17th Century. Attributed to Claude Deruet (1588-1662).
Oil painting on canvas depicting an episode from the Book of Judges in the Old Testament. Jephthah, victorious in a war, has promised God to sacrifice the first person he encounters upon his return. This will be his own daughter, which is why Jephthah tore his garment in a gesture of despair.
This painting is one element of a polyptych.
The painting is remarkable for its influence, both French and Flemish (the Second School of Fontainebleau).
The naive and awkward aspect of the composition is undeniable; this characteristic, typical of Deruet's work, gives it a unique charm and a special place among 17th-century painters.
Painting appraised by the Turquin firm in Paris in 1998, estimated at between 30,000 and 50,000 francs, and featured in an article in the magazine L'Objet d'Art, issue number 328, in October 1998.
Heavily restored and mounted on a panel (before the Turquin firm appraisal).
Dimensions: 126 x 52 cm
Modern frame (included with the artwork)
