Italian 1575-1642-
St Francis in Ecstasy;
oil on canvas, inscribed 'ST ANTHONY / BY / RIBERA' verso, 43.8 x 33.1 cm. (unframed).
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
The present work is a copy after Reni's original, completed around 1612, which is held in the Louvre Museum, Paris [INV 533]. The composition depicts the saint holding a skull, with his eyes uplifted in a moment of divine contemplation.
Reni was a central figure of the Baroque movement, whose pupils included figures such as Simone Cantarini (1612-1648) and Antonio Randa (c.1595-c.1657). The influence of Reni's approach is also evidence in the work of subsequent Spanish artists, including Jusepe de Ribera (1591-1652) and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617-1682).
