Saint John the Baptist as a Child Emilian School of the 17th century Oil on canvas Beautiful golden frame Canvas dimensions: cm. 58 x 46 Frame dimensions: cm. 70 x 58 Excellent condition A highly charming and particularly evocative image depicting the young John the Baptist with the cross in his hand, next to his constant companion, the Lamb of God. It is a highly emotional canvas that, thanks to the excellent chiaroscuro effects, creates an atmosphere characterized by a spiritual light full of pathos. The author manages to describe the Protagonist with quick and unembellished brushstrokes, but with extraordinary effectiveness, making him seem alive. The placement of the work within the Emilian painting of the 17th century is evident, and the comparisons to the portraits executed spontaneously by Annibale Carracci are very interesting.
