Spanish School Early 19th Century Oil - St Paul and the Raven

Early 19th Century

About the Item

This captivating study pictures Saint Paul during his time in in the desert after fleeing the persecution of Decius. The painting is full of the usual symbolism that surrounds St Paul and his time in isolation, including the lions digging his grave in a foreshadowing of his future and the raven bringing him bread. The artist depicts the scene using a vivid colour palette and stylised forms that are unusual for the period. Unsigned. On panel.

  • Imbarcato, fuga in barca volante
    Located in Milano, MI
    Looking at her works of art, at first sight one is amazed, because still unfamiliar, in front of her fantastic creativity. Her characters seem to come from "different" worlds, sometimes distant, other times hidden within us. They walk through the woods and meadows, they peer over the shores where the waves break in a continuous and unstoppable dialogue. Often very small, hiding among the blades of grass, but also huge figures, like the characters from the fairy tales of when we were children, naive and still "pure". Here, this purity of childhood is slowly and inexorably awakened in us by looking at the works of Carin Grudda...
