Description: | This is one of a number of versions of The Centurion of Capernaum painted by the Veronese workshop. In this version the centurion is shown on the right, kneeling before Christ. The figure of Christ is shown in an elegant contrapposto position, turning and raising his right hand to bless the centurion. The figures are presented against an architectural backdrop. The numerous versions produced of this composition reflect the demand for Veronese's work that his workshop aimed to supply, both before and after his death. | Subjects: | religion (Christ and the Centurion); figure; townscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Veronese, Paolo (Italian painter and draftsman, 1528-1588) Æ Studio of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8914... | Go to resource |
