17th Century Saint Bernard of Clairvaux Painting

Description

Dramatic expression and perfect use of chiaroscuro, the art of light and shadow effects, makes this painting a masterpiece. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, clad in a white robe, lays down his mitre and staff to render his worldly position to God. He is looking upwards to the soaring angels in the clouds. The painting is characterized by rich deep colours, intense light and dark shadows. From the later part of the 16th century, Spain was blessed with great Baroque painters like Velazquez, El Greco, Murillo and other Spanish masters of the time. It was the Golden Age of Spanish Baroque School paintings. This is a beautiful painting, rich in detail and colour, expressing the mood of 17th-century sacred artwork. The painting is oil on canvas and laid down on board.
