Modern Painting Signed Mario Venzo Oil On Canvas Italy 1950 Original
Artist: Mario Venzo
Oil on canvas. Signed lower right: F. Venzo S.J. (Societas Jesu, the motto of the Jesuits).
This is a work by the Jesuit friar Mario Venzo, a Venetian painter who, after spending his youth as a bohemian artist in Paris, entered monastic life in 1940 while continuing to paint.
In this work, depicted in the foreground inside a modern artisan workshop, is a young worker at his task, whose head is surrounded by light: this is likely a modern interpretation of the young Jesus working in his father’s workshop.
The style of the work reflects Venzo’s painting period prior to 1953; after that year, his work took on bright, vivid colors and a greater stylization of the figures, while often remaining tied to sacred subjects.
The work is presented in a frame.
