Death comes to the table of the miser, Giovanni Martinelli
Giovanni Martinelli
Florence 1610 - 1659
Death comes to the table of the miser
oil on canvas
canvas: 40¼ by 49½ in.; 102 by 126 cm.
framed: 48 by 56 in.; 122 by 142.3 cm.
Condition Report:
The canvas has been relined and is flat and stable. There is a thick, shiny varnish over the painting. Some of the darker colors have sunk a bit, but the bright colors, particularly the reds, remain vibrant. Subtle glazing is particularly well preserved in areas such as the face of the figure second from left and some areas of the figure of Death. Under ultra violet light, some scattered small retouching is visible, mostly in the dark areas, and notably only in an old tear at center right in the background, which has been retouched. It is about 3-4 inches long and the retouchings are visible to the naked eye. Offered in a carved giltwood frame.
