"Flemish School, ca. 1600-1620" is a copy after Tempesta

May, from France, sells on 25 March 2019 a "Flemish School, ca. 1600-1620" Conversion of Saint Paul, estimated at 4,000 to 6,000 Euro.

As it is a not too briliantly painted copy after an engraving by Tempesta, that estimate seems too steep. For some reason the upper half of the painting is very simplified compared to the original, losing a lot of the dynamic and equilibrium at the same time.

UPDATE: again for sale at May on 17 June 2019 with a reduced estimate of 2,500 to 3,500 Euro.
