Scuola toscana (XVIII) - Santa Chiara da Montefalco

[ translate ]

\Artist: Scuola toscana (XVIII)
Technique: Oil on canvas\Signature: Not signed\Dimensions: 75_61_4_cm
Painted material from Umbria/Tuscany: 18th century. The subject portrayed here is Saint Clare of Montefalco who in the late sixteenth-century iconographic cycle, following a papal decision, replaces the Franciscan vestment with the Augustinian one. During her lifetime, Chiara frequented Cardinal Pietro Colonna and Niccolò Albertini da Prato. He also remains in correspondence with Giacomo Colonna. During the canonization process, the miraculous discovery transpires that in the heart of the Saint the Cross and the symbols of Christ's passion can be glimpsed. Other recurring attributes of Chiara da Montefalco, already painted by Rubens in the Augustinian church in Antwerp, are: the lily, synonymous with purity, and a balance with three pebbles, an evocation of the Trinitarian dogma. Here the serene and charitable expression of the Saint finds correspondence in the warm and accommodating tonal temperature. The recent and patinated frame is free.
