"St. Peter's"
Oil on canvas
Canvas 103 x 77 - frame 131 x 105
Excellent condition
Large painting depicting an intense portrait of St. Peter in prayer.
The face of the Saint, in profile and with his gaze turned towards the sky, is characterized by an extraordinary expressive force, and by an evident hieratic transport.
It is a particular interpretation of the most representative human figure of the Church, the first Pope appointed directly by Christ.
He is the character who has most stimulated the creativity of the great masters from all over Europe.
This important work, erroneously attributed in the past to Josepe Ribera, is clearly referable to the production of the great Dutch Master Hendrick Goltzius as can be seen from one of his engravings dated 1589, which we publish.
In fact, he was, in addition to being a famous painter, an important Flemish engraver.
