Description: I WILL REDUCE PRICE UNTIL SOLD IF YOU WANT MAKE OFFER OR MEET AT MUSEUM TO VIEW ARTWORK GOOD LUCK YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED!!!! +++++++++++NEW POSSABLE ARTIST (artist Bartolome Estaban Murillo or Luca Giordano. ) I have conformation that this is not a Ruben Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (born late December 1617, baptized January 1, 1618 – April 3, 1682) was a Spanish Baroque painter. Although he is best known for his religious works, Murillo also produced a considerable number of paintings of contemporary women and children Luca Giordano. Luca Giordano, (born Oct. 18, 1634, Naples—died Jan. 3, 1705, Naples), the most celebrated and prolific Neapolitan painter of the late 17th century. ... Giordano's earliest dated work is of 1651. He was influenced at the beginning of his career by the work of José de Ribera.Do your own research and you will see that we may be getting close to having this attributed and if so will go up to $150,000 to $250,000 this is a steal. I have reduced the price for a quick sale if you want a steal of a lifetime this is it. I am selling this oil on copper painting, It appears to be by a Flemish artist who was either active, or intimately aware of Italian 16th century art, and more specifically Venetian painting. This painting is executed on copper and may date from the 17th century, or possibly the 18th century. As an anonymous work it would be better suited for a local sale, but per my discussion with Sotheby's there could indeed be more to learn here. With that said however it is a very interesting picture. This is why I am attempting to sell this on my own and not sending to auction as I may get a high price but I also may get a low price. I am not willing to take that chance as I was told by the North Carolina Museum of art that if it could be attributed it could be worth $250,000 but I do not have the money to have the research done to have it attributed. I have also been told that one of the pigment used is ULTRAMARINA (Ultramarine is a deep blue color and a pigment which was originally made by grinding lapis lazuli into a powder. The name comes from the Latin ultramarinus, literally "beyond the sea", because the pigment was imported into Europe from mines in Afghanistan by Italian traders during the 14th and 15th centuries), which was a very expensive and rare pigment and rarely used due to the cost. Let me know if there is any other information I may be able to get you. I have priced it very fair with a better than average chance that someone with the means may one day be able to have it attributed to one of the well know artist of that time period. I can e-mail the documentation for the restoration done at the North Carolina Museum Of Art on 6-4-1999. I AM ALSO WILLING TO MEET AT THE NC MUSEUM OF ART FOR INSPECTION AND AUTHENTIFICATION. I WOULD LIKE TO SELL THIS WITH THAT SAID IF YOU ARE LOOKING AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE AN OFFER (NEED TO SELL ASAP) SEND OFFER AS I STATED ABOVE CAN MEET AT NORTH CAROLINA MUSEUM OF ART.
