OLD MASTER AND 19TH CENTURY PAINTINGS, FINE ARTS, DESIGN AND ORIENTAL ART

Eustache Le Sueur (Paris 1616 - 1655) workshop/pupil of Allegory of Peace Oil on canvas 91 x 120 cm The canvas is based on the artwork conserved in the diocese of Venice by Eustache Le Sueur.   https://www.beweb.chiesacattolica.it/benistorici/bene/5912578/Le+Sueur+E. +%281650-1655%29%2C+Allegory+of+the+Peace#action=search%2Results&view=grid&local=en&order=&&liberadescr=eustache+le+sueur&liberaluogo=&ambito=XD&highlight=Eustache&highlight=Sueur   The undisputed quality of the artwork, the iridescent colours and use of lapis lazuli blue, the soft flesh tones the execution technique with its soft, indefinite contours and, above all, the many afterthoughts give strength to the hypothesis that it could either be a workshop artwork, i.e. made under his vision and without excluding his partial interventions, or executed by a skilled pupil who was able to deeply investigate and make Le Sueur's style his own.
