Italian school (XVII) - Salvator Mundi

Title: Salvator Mundi

School: Italian Baroque, 18th century

Style: Religious Baroque

Technique: Oil on panel

Circle and artistic influence: Work linked to the environment of the Italian Baroque school of the 18th century, follower of the iconographic tradition of the Salvator Mundi. It shows influences of Italian devotional painting of the Seicento, especially noticeable in the chiaroscuro, the restrained chromatic palette and the solemn portrayal of Christ.

The work portrays Jesus Christ half-length, clothed in a reddish tunic and a dark mantle. He appears before a neutral, somber background, with one hand resting on the globe, an attribute that symbolizes his spiritual dominion over the world. His face, slightly turned and framed by long hair and a beard, conveys serenity and contemplation.

The composition uses contained lighting that focuses attention on the face, the hand and the folds of the garment. The palette of earth tones, ochres, reddish hues and darks reinforces the solemn and devotional character of the scene.

Observations: It presents small defects, craquelure, wear, occasional losses of pictorial material and restorations in keeping with its age. The work is presented without a frame.

Measurements: 29 × 24 cm.
