"saint Peter" Emilian Master Of The 17th Century
"Saint Peter"
Emilian Master of the 17th century
Circle of Guido Reni (Bologna 1575 - 1642)
Oil on canvas
Antique gilded frame
Canvas: 30 x 24 cm Frame: 46 x 52 cm
Excellent condition Cleaned and relined
A portrait of great intensity of the most important and charismatic apostle, the one closest to Christ and his direct successor, in an expression of deep feeling, with eyes turned toward the sky seeking contact with God. The Author demonstrates great painting skills and a remarkable ability in portraiture, perfectly capturing the spiritual strength of this extraordinary Figure. The painting optimally presents the most typical characteristics of Emilian Baroque painting and inevitably references similar subjects by Guido Reni and his famous workshop. The execution of the exceptionally vivid face, created with confident and highly effective brushstrokes, clearly reflects the work of a top-level artist in the Emilian scene. The canvas, though small in size, is striking, set in an impressive thick golden frame that enhances it excellently.
