EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting of Saint Bruno, also known as Bruno the Carthusian or Bruno de Cologne. Created by Jose (Jusepe) of Ribera, dit lo Spagnoletto in 1643, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 38x27 cm and is housed in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, Italy. The painting depicts Saint Bruno with a serene expression, his eyes fixed on an open book before him. The artist skillfully captures the saint's devotion and contemplative nature. A heavenly angel hovers above him, symbolizing divine guidance and protection. Saint Bruno was a hermit who founded the Carthusian Order in the 11th century. Known for his deep spirituality and commitment to solitude, he sought solace in prayer and lived a life of asceticism. The painting beautifully portrays this aspect of his character by depicting him within a cave-like setting. The baroque style employed by Ribera adds depth and richness to the artwork. Intricate details such as a skull at Saint Bruno's feet further emphasize themes of mortality and spiritual reflection. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this remarkable piece through her photography skills, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty even from afar. This print serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence that continues to inspire audiences today.
