Painting on copper Francesco de Mura Italian 18th century Saint John the Baptist A4838 This painting is from the 18th century, it was executed with great finesse and great precision. The partially erased signature is difficult to decipher, possibly Francesco de Mura, but I couldn't confirm that. Francesco de Mura (born in 1696 in Naples in Campania - died in 1782) was an Italian painter of the 18th century in the Rococo style who was active mainly in Naples and Turin. It is a copper, metal or zinc plate. We report wear and friction, scratches, lack of paint in places, traces of humidity, stains on the back. Note that the bottom of the plate is slightly deformed.
