{"product_id":"artista-sconosciuto-eremita","title":"Unknown Artist - Hermit","description":"\u003cp\u003e The subject of the painting is a hermit at prayer. The iconographic characteristics may coincide with the traditional depiction of Saint Jerome, who is traditionally depicted as an old hermit at prayer, always in rocky or desert settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe painting exhibits several characteristics typical of 16th- and 17th-century painting. First and foremost, a pronounced naturalism: the hermit is immersed in a plausible naturalistic setting, and the opening on the right allows a glimpse of a landscape stretching into the distance. The saint himself is depicted with anatomical accuracy, and emphasis is placed on his body. There is a certain degree of idealization of the subject; despite being an ascetic, he is depicted with evident musculature. These are all characteristics that derive from the great naturalism of the Renaissance, but pictorially, the painting may indicate a later period. The work was executed with a rapid brushstroke, where little emphasis is placed on the drawing and more emphasis is placed on the tonal values ​​of the color. This results in highly pictorial and atmospheric effects that could place the work towards the 17th century. This is also supported by the color palette, which focuses on dark tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eGiven the stylistic features highlighted and the hypothesized dating, the artist of the painting could be classified within the Italian Caravaggism. Indeed, in the painting, beyond the predominant dark tones, there is a desire to present a truthful and authentic work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Muccilli Gemma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56211597230466,"sku":"GMUC002","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/eremita.jpg?v=1768400935","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/artista-sconosciuto-eremita","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
