About the piece
Painted around 1615 by Orazio Borgianni, this work exemplifies the dramatic Tenebrism of the Italian Baroque. The artist uses intense chiaroscuro to highlight the physical strain and devotion of Saint Christopher as he carries the illuminated figure of the Infant Christ across dark, turbulent waters.
