About the piece

Dating to approximately 1637, this oil-on-canvas painting depicts Jesus Christ in the traditional iconography of the 'Salvator Mundi' or Savior of the World. He is shown holding an orb representing the Earth while his right hand is raised in a solemn blessing. The work exhibits the dramatic chiaroscuro and masterful rendering of fabric characteristic of the European Baroque period, with the vibrant red of his cloak providing a powerful contrast against the dark, atmospheric background.
