Gaetano Lete (XX) - Gesù

“Gesù prega” by Maestro Gaetano Lete is a Baroque-style work that draws on seventeenth-century Neapolitan influences, in which the gaze turned toward the sky and the hands clasped together convey deep contemplation. The composition is enhanced by a skilled use of chiaroscuro, which models the face and hands with great realism, while the warm tones of the red tunic and the delicate light transitions give the whole piece expressive force and intense emotion.
