About the Item

This intimate portrait depicts a bearded monk in profile, rendered with masterful attention to naturalistic detail including weathered skin, expressive eyes, and dishevelled curly hair that catches the light. The composition employs warm earth tones and dramatic chiaroscuro lighting to create depth and emotional intensity, focusing the viewer's attention on the subject's contemplative expression and rugged facial features. Well presented in a dark wood frame. Signed. On board.

Follower of Giambattista Valentino Piazzetta (Venice, 1682 - there, 1754) Head of St. Peter Oil on canvas applied on cardboard, 36.5 x 34.5 cm With frame 42.5 x 41 cm The claves Regni Coelorum, an essential Petrine attribute, shyly peek out in this painting, with the sole purpose of allowing the character to be recognized. The wholeness of attention is indeed conveyed to the Saint, from aching humanity and divine inspiration. Pietro is rendered with a liquid epidermis, illuminated by a pearly light that slips and drips to define the overbearing nose, cheekbones and browbone; while the vitreous humor of the eye turns bright to the sky, to investigate the highest wills of the divine mystery. The portrait, rendered here in intense monochrome, denounces the direct dependence of the present artist on the suggestions of Giambattista (Valentino) Piazzetta, one of the greatest among the eighteenth-century Venetian masters.
