Description: | Signed: yes Description: The Spanish Baroque painter Jusepe de Ribera painted at least fifteen versions of Saint Peter Repentant. This version is signed and dated in 1628. Like the figure of St Jerome, the figure of the old St Peter looking up to the sky in religious meditation gave way to the depiction of the aged male body and extreme emotional expression especially dear to Ribera and the tradition of painting in Spain in the seventeenth century. Although signed and dated, it is now believed to be a version painted by an assistant or a pupil and then signed by the master. | Subjects: | figure; religion (St Peter) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ribera, Jusepe de (Spanish painter and printmaker, baptized in 1591, died 1652, active in Italy) Æ Attributed to studio of Previously attributed to Ribera, Jusepe de (Spanish painter and printmaker, baptized in 1591, died 1652, active in Italy) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8824... | Go to resource |
