EDITORS COMMENTS
Saints Maximus and Oswald," a captivating oil on canvas painting by the renowned Venetian artist Giambattista Tiepolo, dates back to approximately 1745. This masterpiece is now proudly housed in the esteemed National Gallery in London. The painting depicts two revered saints, Saint Maximus and Saint Oswald, in a serene and otherworldly setting. Saint Maximus, with his long, flowing beard and robes, gazes intently towards the heavens, his left hand raised in a gesture of blessing. Saint Oswald, the King of Northumbria, is shown in regal attire, holding a model of a church in his right hand, symbolizing his role as a patron of the faith. Tiepolo's masterful use of light and color creates a dramatic and ethereal atmosphere, with the saints bathed in a golden glow. The intricate details of their robes and the delicate textures of their skin are rendered with the utmost precision, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill. The painting is a testament to Tiepolo's mastery of the Baroque style, with its dynamic composition, rich colors, and dramatic lighting. The influence of the Bible is evident in the depiction of the saints, who were both early Christian martyrs. Saint Maximus was a sixth-century bishop and scholar, while Saint Oswald, who lived in the seventh century, is the patron saint of Northumbria. This stunning work of art is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for fine art, religious iconography, or the Baroque period. The National Gallery is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing visitors to experience the beauty and depth of Tiepolo's artistry firsthand.
