Oval painting antique religious Saint Lawrence artwork art 17th century

COD 01086
Great 17th-century religious painting. Oil on canvas artwork, oval-shaped, depicting Saint Lawrence, a Roman deacon martyred on the gridiron and depicted here as a young man, holding the Book of Faith and the palm of martyrdom. Emblem of courage and unwavering faith, he would become one of the most venerated saints in Christianity, the protector of librarians and cooks, and the patron saint of numerous cities, including Alba and Tivoli.

A painting of good pictorial quality, where the figure, immersed in a dark background, emerges with intense luminosity. The choice of colors, the composure of the composition, and the devotional language hark back to Central Italian painting of the late 17th century. This elegantly refined painting combines spiritual strength with artistic value, ideal for collectors of high-quality religious art.

Thanks to its oval format, the painting is perfectly suited to a study or library, an elegant living room, or a bedroom, where its meditative intensity can harmoniously dialogue with classic or contemporary furnishings. 19th-century carved and gilded wooden frame, beautifully decorated, with some signs of aging. The painting has already been restored with relining, replacement of the stretcher, and recoloring in small spots. Overall, in good condition. Internal dimensions: H 76 x W 56 cm.
