About the piece
This 1650 oil painting by Pieter van Lint captures the monumental figure of Saint Christopher bearing the weight of the Christ child. The child holds a golden globus cruciger, symbolizing his dominion over the world, while the saint's furrowed brow and dynamic pose convey the spiritual weight of his task. The masterful use of light and the rich red drapery are characteristic of the Flemish Baroque style.
