About the piece
Created around 1660 by Jean Baptiste de Champaigne, this oil on canvas work is a quintessential example of French Baroque painting. The artist employs dramatic chiaroscuro to focus the viewer's eye on the suffering yet spiritual figure of Saint Lawrence, contrasted against the shadowed figures of Roman authority and the celestial presence of descending putti.
