Beschreibung
Spanish school of the 17th century. Circle of Pedro de Orrente (1580-1645).
"Saint Anthony Abbot and Saint Paul the Hermit".
Oil on canvas. Re-drawn.
It presents faults, yellowish varnish and repainting. The frame is in good condition.
Measurements: 121 x 82 cm; 141,5 x 102 cm.
Towards the end of his life, Saint Anthony Abbot visited Paul the Hermit, superior of the anchorites of La Tebaida, who was miraculously fed by a raven that carried a loaf of bread in its beak every day for the saint. This miracle was repeated on the day of Anthony's visit, and on that day the raven carried two loaves of bread instead of one. This food provided by divine will is depicted here in the raven's beak. On the right of the scene, the two saints can be seen, differentiated by their habits, although it should be noted that both are similar in terms of the face, with which the artist has portrayed each of the protagonists.
Spanish Baroque painting is one of the most authentic and personal examples of our art, because its conception and form of expression arose from the people and their deepest feelings. With the economy of the state in ruins, the nobility in decline and the clergy heavily taxed, it was the monasteries, parishes and confraternities of clerics and laymen who encouraged its development, with the works sometimes being financed by popular subscription. Painting was thus obliged to express the prevailing ideals in these environments, which were none other than religious ones, at a time when Counter-Reformation doctrine demanded a realistic language from art so that the faithful could understand and identify with what was depicted, and an expression endowed with an intense emotional content to increase the fervour and devotion of the people. Religious themes were therefore the preferred subject matter of Spanish sculpture during this period, which in the early decades of the century was based on a priority interest in capturing the natural world, gradually intensifying throughout the century in the depiction of expressive values.
