EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Baroque oil painting depicts Saint Peter Nolasco (1564-1654), a Spanish Mercedarian friar and the founder of the Order of Our Lady of Mercy, also known as the Brothers of Mercy or the Mercedarians. The painting, created in the 17th century, captures Saint Peter Nolasco in his childhood days, as he gazes out at the sea with a sense of determination and resolve. Accompanied by a young girl and a boy, the future saint seems to be embarking on a journey, perhaps to fulfill his divine mission. The painting, created in Sevilla, Spain, is a testament to the artistic prowess of Francisco Pacheco (1564-1654), a renowned Spanish painter and art theorist. Pacheco's influence on Spanish art during the Baroque period was significant, and this painting is a prime example of his mastery of the technique. The use of rich, vibrant colors and intricate details bring the figures to life, making the painting a captivating work of art that continues to inspire awe and admiration. The Mercedarian Order, founded by Saint Peter Nolasco in 1218, was dedicated to the ransom of Christian captives and the conversion of Muslims and Jews. The Order's symbol, the red cord, is a reminder of the redemption and mercy that the Order sought to bring to those in need. This painting, with its depiction of the founder's early years, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of faith, determination, and the desire to help others. The Fine Arts Museum in Sevilla is proud to house this beautiful and meaningful work of art, which continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
