PETER PAUL RUBENS GILDED Flemish Old Master Altarpiece
This is a black & white study photo image of the unfinished Flemish Painting. Color was added to her hair and chin. Notice her dress where it was being reworked and unfinished. This was the last work done on the Flemish painting. Notice that she appears to be of European descent. Refer to Flemish Painting in our listing. Alfred Bader of Alfred Bader Fine Arts and Dr. David de Witt reviewed detailed photos of this painting in early January of 2005, and Dr. de Witt stated the altar painting has nothing to do with Rubens. He believed it dated to late 16th century, perhaps Spanish or South American!! A new lab report shows the gold color is real "GOLD" on canvas. Super rare!! The "sfumato" technique of color shading by Leonardo was used in this unfinished Flemish altarpiece!!
