EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pen and ink drawing by Giuseppe Passeri captures the spiritual essence of Saint Augustine and Two Angels Adoring the Crucifix. Created between 1685 and 1695, this piece is a testament to Passeri's skill as an artist in the 17th century. The intricate details of the figures, from their posture to their expressions of reverence, showcase Passeri's mastery in depicting religious subjects.
Saint Augustine, one of the most revered Christian theologians, is shown kneeling in prayer alongside two angels, all gazing adoringly at the crucifixion of Christ. The use of brown ink heightened with lead white over red chalk on cream laid paper adds depth and dimension to this powerful scene. The delicate lines and shading bring a sense of movement and emotion to the artwork.
Passeri's depiction of this sacred moment invites viewers to contemplate the significance of faith and devotion. The composition conveys a sense of peace and contemplation, inviting us to join Saint Augustine and the angels in their prayerful meditation on Christ's sacrifice.
Displayed at an art institute or gallery, this print serves as a reminder of Italy's rich artistic heritage and its enduring influence on religious art. It is a timeless representation that continues to inspire viewers with its beauty and spiritual resonance.
