About the piece
Painted by the Italian Baroque master Luca Giordano around 1650, this dynamic composition illustrates the patron saint of artists in the act of creation. The work features a striking use of chiaroscuro, with the earthy figure of Saint Luke contrasted against the luminous, cloud-borne figures of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child, attended by a host of energetic cherubs.
