Transverberation Of Saint Thérèse, Oil On Copper From The 17th Century.
The Ecstasy Of Saint Thérèse, Oil On Copper From The 17th Century.
Superb oil on copper from the 17th Century representing the ecstasy of Saint Thérèse.
the composition is magnificent:
saint Thérèse therefore appears facing her "apparation" in full ecstasy, supported by two angels. Saint Thérèse is in full swoon, we no longer know if her face describes pain or spasms.
The painter was able to restore the mystery of the ecstasy of the saint, through her face but also through her body which collapses almost lifelessly while two angels of great beauty support her.
before her stands her vision in the middle of clouds: this apparition is in its hand the golden spear with a small fire at the end!
This same spear that Saint Thérèse feels penetrating her to the depths of her bowels and which leaves her on fire with a great love of God! such and so intense pain seizes her , making her moan but yet the sweetness of this excessive pain was such that it was impossible for her to want to be rid of it.
according to his writings.
the scene takes place in front of a beautiful architectural ensemble, and in the background at the foot of the Saint appears a beautiful landscape.
the composition is very coherent and corresponds to the memories of Saint Thérèse.
we have the impression here that it is the child Jesus himself who appears to her to pierce her.
the colors are superb, the reds and blues are vivid and deep, difficult to reproduce in photos.
almost no restoration.
