Oil On Canvas, Male Portrait, Naples (?), 18th Century

A painting characterized by strong psychological realism.The subject (perhaps an Apostle or Jesus) is portrayed in three-quarters, with an intense gaze directed at the viewer.It appears to be a study. The use of light is dramatic, with a strong contrast between the illuminated face and the dark, neutral background. This style strongly recalls Caravaggism or the school of Jusepe de Ribera (known as Lo Spagnoletto).The painting has undergone an earlier, but not overly invasive, restoration.Restoration is recommended to do the painting justice.There does not appear to be any obvious "re-lining" (a second canvas glued behind the original).The canvas measures 42 cm by 30 cm.
