Description : San Francesco in estasi confortato da un angelo

Oil painting on canvas. Italian school of the seventeenth century. The scene is clearly divided into two parts, occupied by the two very different figures in colors and movement: on the left side appears the saint, suffering and suffering, leaning against the trunk of a tree and embracing the Cross, with whom he comes into very physical contact. tightly covering the head of Christ with his head, to express the concept of the Imitatio Christi; dark is the habit, dark is the tree trunk, his figure dull, signs of passion and suffering. Above right an angel, who plays the violin, wrapped in colored clothes and surrounded by light, graceful that almost seems to dance in the air. This iconography of the saint refers to an episode narrated in the Fioretti by San Bonaventura: the saint, very weak from abstinence and the inner battles he fought, prayed to God to grant him a part of that eternal bliss he longed for; then an angel appeared to him who, playing the violin, comforted his soul and alleviated all bodily pain. The painting, retaurato and relined, is in good condition.

La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
