About the piece
Painted around 1650 by the Florentine artist Simone Pignoni, this work depicts Saint Praxedis engaged in the somber task of collecting the blood of Christian martyrs. The composition is a striking example of the Italian Baroque style, defined by the sharp contrast between the luminous skin tones and the atmospheric, shadowy background.
