About the piece
Created around 1660 by the Italian Baroque master Salvator Rosa, this work depicts Saint Humphrey (Onuphrius) as a rugged ascetic in deep prayer. Known for his 'savage' landscapes and dramatic use of chiaroscuro, Rosa captures the hermit's spiritual intensity against a brooding, atmospheric backdrop of stormy clouds and mountains.
