Original oil painting titled 'Tête de Saint Ignace de Loyola' by École espagnole (XX), produced in Spain in the 1970s, depicting a profile portrait of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and sold framed.
Description from the seller
Oil painting depicting the head of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, iconography with a long tradition within European religious art. The work presents a carefully crafted profile portrait, where the artist concentrates on the introspective and spiritual expression of the saint, highlighting his elevated and contemplative gaze.
The composition is characterized by a sober and elegant pictorial treatment, with a balanced palette that combines warm tones in the face with a neutral background that reinforces the figure's prominence. The modeling of volume through soft chromatic transitions and restrained brushwork adds depth and character to the portrait, evoking the tradition of classical devotional painting reinterpreted from a modern sensibility.
The psychological intensity of the gesture and the serene dignity of the representation convey a strong spiritual sense, making the piece an especially appealing example for both collectors of religious art and lovers of figurative portraiture.
It is presented framed, ready for display.
