About the piece
Dating to approximately 1650, this oil on canvas painting portrays the saint in a moment of great physical and spiritual exertion. The composition is defined by deep shadows and a dynamic, twisting pose, characteristic of the 17th-century European style. The Christ child atop his shoulders carries the globus cruciger, reinforcing the spiritual gravity of the narrative.
