The Torture of Saint Concordia

c. 1670

About the Item

Circle of Domenico Piola (Genoa 1627 – 1703) The Torture of Saint Concordia Black chalk, brown ink and brown wash on two sheets of paper, 40.5 x 42 cm Provenance: Estate of James Isidor Kaiser, Copenhagen-Hamburg Private collection, France This finely executed drawing, attributed to the circle of the Genoese painter Domenico Piola, depicts the martyrdom of Saint Concordia, bound to a post under the gaze of Roman magistrates, as an executioner prepares to strike. The classical architectural setting and the angel descending with a laurel crown reflect the Baroque sensibility of the composition. The work is notable for its strong graphic quality, the richness of its modelling, and the skilful handling of wash. On the reverse, several old inscriptions, collectors’ stamps, and a pen sketch suggest a rich provenance and long circulation in scholarly collections. A full scholarly study of this drawing is available upon request.
