Follower of Filippo Lauri The Feast of the Gods oil on panel 24.5 x 45cm
Provenance: Private Collection, London
The painting is executed in oil on a wooden panel formed from a single board with the woodgrain running horizontally. The paint layers have developed a network of age cracks which are prominent across the surface and appear dark. In localised areas the edges of the age cracks are lifting and the painting has a history of flaking with numerous losses across the surface. There is extensive retouching across the surface, poorly applied and has become light and yellow in tone. A thin varnish layer is present which is clear with an uneven gloss due to the texture of the paint layers.
