Pieta.Italiya - XVI century? Tell me please.
 

Dear forum.
Work on copper - 24 x 17 cm oil.
It seems that refers to the Ferrara School - the beginning of the XVI century?
But I'm no expert.
Please help me.
Best regards.
Mikhail.
Character in a red similar to Francis I.

This is not the "Pieta", more properly called "The Entombment".

In fact, copper?
Photo turnover plate can be seen?

Entombment
 

Send downside.

I also never an expert, but the manner of execution is still softer, more similar to the XVII century .
As for the actual dates of your things , then there will study the basics - easily dated copper processing method later copper bases already made ​​by machine and not by hammering .

Copper plates were used in the 18th century because of the similarity with the gold on gold plates wrote earlier (because of the beauty of his tone).

And - was editing?
Halos?

Thank you.
Copper sheet has all the signs of forging.
30 years ago wore work in the Hermitage.
They liked it - offered to purchase, but said nothing about the most important thing - clever snobs - about school, analogs, and so on.
Sincerely, Michael.

Work belongs to the family of my friends, and my grandmother went to the Hermitage - blokadnitsa.

Somewhere on copper plates from the 16th century in Italy began to write.
 
I came across the work of the 17th on copper.

But this painting looks pretty fresh

And why - Ferrara school?
Have any arguments?

May be the origin of things we know?
at least from my grandmother-blokadnitsy?

Thinly said.
