The Death of St Andrew Avellino
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta that depicts the final moments of the reforming saint. In this dramatic scene, St Andrew Avellino, a bearded man dressed in religious robes, collapses on a set of steps while surrounded by concerned men and priests. A child-like angel hovers above him, holding a lily and offering solace in his last breaths. The composition is rich with symbolism and neoclassical elements. The columns and architecture reminiscent of classical temples create an ethereal atmosphere as if heaven itself descends upon the scene. Angels clad in white robes emerge from billowing clouds to witness the saint's passing into the heavens. St Andrew Avellino's death is portrayed as both tragic and divine. His fatal stroke has caused him to faint open-armed towards an altar, signifying his devotion to God until his very last moment. The presence of other saints from the Order of Theatines adds to the solemnity and drama surrounding this event. Piazzetta's masterful brushwork brings forth emotions through vivid colors and intricate details. This print captures not only a significant religious event but also showcases Piazzetta's talent for capturing human expressions amidst spiritual themes. Displayed at The Holburne Museum in Bath, UK, this artwork serves as a reminder of faith, mortality, and transcendence within religious orders throughout history.
