Emilian Master of the 17th Century
Oil on canvas
Canvas 41 x 50 cm
Frame 58 x 66 cm
Excellent condition
A canvas of great character where the author demonstrates exceptional skill in portraiture, creating an image of the Saint of extreme expressive effectiveness.
The expression on the face is full of human bewilderment, as he is questioning himself, in a moment of intense meditation.
He who is considered the Father of the Church is depicted in such a way as to imagine his mind in direct contact with God.
His forehead is spacious and his head is bald and illuminated to give even more the sensation of a character with infinite intellectual abilities and a spirituality that transcends human understanding.
