FRANCISCO SOLIMENA (Canale di Serino 1657 -Naples 1747) Attributed "Saint Agnes"

About the Item

FRANCISCO SOLIMENA (Canale di Serino, 1657 - Naples, 1747) Attributed - Saint Agnes Description Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 56 × 36 cm (unframed), 76 × 56 cm (framed). This 18th-century oil on canvas is attributed to the painter Francesco Solimena, whose works are characterized by delicate modeling, soft flesh tones, and a refined use of chiaroscuro, all elements present in this composition. The painting technical displays mastery and formal sensitivity fully consistent with the artist's mature style. The scene depicts Saint Agnes, a martyr of early Christianity, easily recognizable by the lamb she holds in her arms, a symbol of purity, innocence, and sacrifice. According to tradition, Agnes belonged to the noble gens Claudia and was martyred at the age of 12 during the Diocletian persecutions. The work conveys a serene spirituality through the saint's peaceful face, protective gesture, and sober composition, which emphasizes the intimacy of the scene. The dark background helps to highlight the luminosity of the face and the animal, while the restrained expressiveness reinforces its devotional character.
