EDITORS COMMENTS
Francesco Fontebasso's Saint Luke Painting the Virgin, an exquisite 18th century masterpiece, showcases the renowned Italian artist's exceptional skill in brush drawing. The black and white image, executed in brown ink on laid paper, depicts Saint Luke in the act of painting the Virgin and Child. Surrounding the scene are cherubs and angels, their chubby bodies adorned with the innocence of infancy. The serene expression on the face of the Virgin Mary and the gentle gaze of Saint Luke create an atmosphere of reverence and devotion. The setting is simple yet evocative, with the saint seated at an easel, his brush delicately touching the canvas as he captures the likeness of the Madonna and Child. The presence of cattle in the background, a common motif in Fontebasso's works, adds a touch of rustic charm and reinforces the biblical narrative of Luke as a painter of livestock and rural scenes. Francesco Salvator Fontebasso (1715-1797) was an accomplished artist of the Amorini genre, known for his depictions of the Madonna and Child, cherubs, and other religious subjects. This beautiful drawing is a testament to his artistic prowess and the enduring appeal of the sacred themes he explored. Saint Luke Painting the Virgin is a precious addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Italy and the profound impact of Christianity on European art.
