Description
St Peter with frame, Emilian School, 17th century Oil on canvas, 51 x 33 cm The painting depicts a bearded saint, shown in half-length with his gaze turned upwards, in accordance with a devotional style that was widespread in 17th-century Emilian painting.The figure emerges from the dark background through a beam of light focused on his face and chest, whilst his absorbed expression and the upward direction of his gaze lend the composition an intensely contemplative character.The work belongs to the 17th-century Emilian school and shows clear references to the style of Guido Reni, particularly in the idealised construction of the face, the softness of the modelling and the poignant pose of the figure – elements that reflect the popularity of its devotional prototypes and their widespread adoption by followers and painters in the Bolognese circle. Framed.
