KILKENNY, Ireland---“Old masters” paintings are enjoying a welcome renaissance in the fickle international art market which might bode well for a powerful painting entitled Golgotha, The Crucifixion on Mount Calvary at Fonsie Mealy Auctioneers on Wednesday - Lot 494 with an estimate of €10,000-€15,000. Many paintings of the Crucifixion focus on the figure of Jesus but this example features the entire scene of a pivotal event in Western culture and one of the most familiar scenes in religious art. The artist is unknown but the auctioneers believe it is Flemish School and dates from the 16th or 17th century. [More]
