About the piece

Painted around 1670 by Juan Martín Cabezalero, this Spanish Baroque work captures the spiritual intensity of Saint Theresa's communion. The composition is marked by dramatic chiaroscuro, rich textures of liturgical vestments, and a sweeping red curtain that adds a theatrical grandeur to the sacred moment.
