Description: | This painting has been attributed to the circle of Francisco de Zurbarán, but it is likely to be an early copy after a lost work by José de Ribera, the Spanish painter who was based in Naples. The figure of the saint resembles the type represented in the Ecstasy of Saint Francis that Ribera painted in the 1640s, now at El Escorial. His pale, triangular, expressive face and the ragged Franciscan robe are replicated minutely. The composition reproduces the Saint Francis in Glory, an autograph work made for the church of Saint Francis in Aversa, Naples, which dates to about 1642. | Subjects: | religion (St Francis) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Ribera, Jusepe de (Spanish painter and printmaker, baptized in 1591, died 1652, active in Italy) Æ Attributed to after Previously attributed to Murillo, Bartolomé Estebán (Spanish painter and draftsman, 1618-1682) Previously attributed to Zurbarán, Francisco de (Spanish painter, 1598-1664) and studio | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9033... | Go to resource |
