A portrait of great intensity of the most important and charismatic Holy Apostle, the closest to Christ and his direct successor, in an expression of strong emotion, with eyes turned towards the sky in search of contact with God.
The Author demonstrates great pictorial skills and a notable ability in portraiture, succeeding in perfectly describing the spiritual strength of this extraordinary figure.
The painting optimally presents the most typical characteristics of Emilian Baroque painting and inevitably refers to similar subjects by Guido Reni and his famous workshop.
The exceptionally lifelike execution of the face, achieved with decisive brushstrokes of great pictorial rendering, is clearly the result of a top-level artist in the Emilian scene.
The canvas, despite its small size, has a strong impact, set in an important, thick gilded frame that enhances it excellently.
We issue a stamped and signed certificate of authenticity that guarantees the period, provenance, and all characteristics of the work, drawn up by an antiquarian affiliated with FIMA (ITALIAN FEDERATION OF ART MERCHANTS).
