Genoese School, Late 17th Century, Saint Jude Thaddeus; Pen And Ink
Genoese School, late 17th century
Saint Jude Thaddeus
Pen and brown ink, black ink wash, highlighted with white gouache, on paper
14 x 9 cm
Framed: 29 x 23.8 cm
The saint is depicted seated, his robes billowing as if caught by a gust of wind, one hand raised to steady the halberd—his traditional attribute—while the other rests on his chest in a gesture of serenity. The energetic, lively pen strokes, the broad, enveloping wash, and the short, confident touches of white highlighting the tinted paper are characteristic of Genoese drawing from the second half of the 17th century, with its vigorous and painterly treatment of drapery and wind-swept hair.
