Carlo Borri (1952) - San Gennaro, da Ribera

Carlo Borri, 1950, a self-taught painter of an impressionist/macchiaiolo imprint, inspired by the masters of the Neapolitan school.

Close-up framing of the face of Saint Januarius, freely inspired by the famous masterpiece by Jusepe de Ribera housed in the Royal Chapel of the Treasure of Saint Januarius in Naples.

Oil on panel, figurative of the Neapolitan school with seventeenth-century and Baroque influences, reread with a tactile sensibility and a color approach rooted in macchiaiolo/post-impressionist derives, hand-signed at the bottom left.
