Description
Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio manner of
Milan 1571 - Porto Ercole 1610
Saint John the Evangelist
Oil on canvas
cm 91,5x107
The painting depicts St. John the Evangelist, one of the four evangelists of the New Testament.
It is recognizable by several iconographic elements:
The young, beardless face, with delicate, idealized features, consistent with the tradition that presents him as the youngest of the apostles.
Gazing upward in ecstasy or divine inspiration.
The book or manuscript he holds in his hand, a symbol of the Gospel he wrote.
The gesture of the raised right hand, which may indicate a mystical vision, divine inspiration or the act of proclaiming the Word.
The painting is clearly influenced by the late Baroque and in particular shows features related to the Caravaggio school or manner, including:
Marked use of chiaroscuro: the figure emerges from a dark background with intense, dramatic light that dramatically affects volumes.
Intense and naturalistic facial expression, communicating deep emotional involvement.
Rich and realistic draping in fabrics, with volume and movement effects.
The work probably dates from the late 17th century to the early 18th century. This period saw the spread of Caravaggio's influence throughout Europe, particularly in Italy and Spain, but also in the Netherlands.
