Lot 24
Spanish School
17th Century
A Priest and his Companions after an Attack on a Deserted Road
Oil on canvas
22 1/4 x 77 1/8 inches (56.5 x 195.7 cm)
Provenance:
Property of a Florida estate
The subject of this painting is enigmatic: a priest and other men lying on the ground after a brutal attack, perhaps by brigands, perhaps by anti-clerical forces. This unusual subject suggests that the work may depict an actual historical incident, one better known in the 17th century than today.
C Property from the Estate of a Miami Collector
