Description: | Christ is depicted as a young man, as the Salvator mundi, the Saviour of the World, who with a gesture of benediction is looking at the globe. The painter, who has generally been described as a follower of Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, called Guercino, gives this scene a quiet and intimate psychological impact, as if the young Jesus, in the moment of blessing the world was reflecting on its imperfections and on the suffering that it holds. | Subjects: | figure; religion (Christ) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Guercino (Italian painter and draftsman, 1591-1666) Æ Attributed to school of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8817... | Go to resource |
