"Resurrection" may be close to Frans Floris

Audap Mirabaud, part from the Drouot Group from France, sells on 22 June 2018 a "Flemish School, circa 1580" Resurrection of Christ, estimated at 6,000 to 8,000 Euro.

They seem to have tried to sell it before, without success. It is a rather interesting and good painting though.

I haven't found another copy of this composition (which is rather unusual for a good, well-composed painting from this period). Some elements point to specific artists though.

The central Christ is very reminiscent of the one in the Resurrection by Hendrick De Clerck, from the National Museum in Warsaw. Even though the body is reversed left-right, but the arms aren't, it still seems to be based on the same model, with Christ sitting, with the feet crossed in the same way, the right arm raised in a similar way, and so on.

But the general style reminds me most of Frans Floris (1516-1570). On the one hand we have the above engraving, from the Art Institute of Chicago, which has a similar position for the soldier on the right (back to us, same sword, same style); and on the other hand we have paintings like "The awakening of the arts", which shows his typical and quite unusual use of manysplotches of pink (mainly pink clothing) throughout the work, which is also an eye-catching aspect of the work for sale (the pink boots of the soldier on the right especially).

The work probably isn't really by Frans Floris, there are some quality issues in some faces, but on the other hand e.g. the main soldier is beautifully painted. Perhaps it has been copied with great care from an unidentified engraving, but if it is an original work, then it has been done by a fairly good painter. The current estimate in any case seems very reasonable.

UPDATE: apparently not sold, again for sale at same auction house on 28 November 2018 with an estimate of 3,000 to 5,000 Euro.  No idea why this painting has such trouble finding a buyer.

UPDATE 2: now again for sale at Hampel (28 March 2019), either same painting cleaned or a different version of the same dimensions, and nearly identical in all details except the colour of the central figure. Estimate 7,000 to 9,000 Euro, attributed to Joachim Wtewael this time.
