About the piece

Painted in 1641 by Antonín Stevens, this oil on copper work captures the legendary Saint Onuphrius in his wilderness solitude. The scene is illuminated by a celestial light as an angel offers sustenance, set against a vast, meticulously detailed landscape under a churning, dramatic sky. The technical precision afforded by the copper support allows for luminous colors and fine brushwork that bring this contemplative religious narrative to life.
