Religious painting 17th 18th VIGNON Caravaggio follower Oil canvas Saint Gregory

About the Item

Claude VIGNON (After) Tours, 1593 – Paris, 1670 Oil on canvas 60 x 45 cm (80 x 65 cm with the frame) Very good condition In the 17th century the french painter Claude Vignon painted a serie of four paintings representing the four great doctors of the Latin church Saint Jerome, Saint Ambroise, Saint Augustine and Saint Gregory. Here we have an old copy, probably from the 18th century, of the composition of Saint Gregory, a lost painting of Vignon. Another copy can see for example of the series of the four Doctors in the church of Saint André d'Apchon in Auvergne (France). Claude Vignon has had great success with his portraits of Catholic saints for different congregations in a style caracteristic of the "Contre Réforme". These caracters are in fact not only represented in portrait and therefore closer to the people, but also in a very realistic style thanks to the way the painter paints, the skin in particular, inspired by both Rembrandt and the French Caravaggesques.
