Christ Salvator Mundi

Oil on canvas, cm 81 x 64

This painting is set within the pictorial landscape of the eighteenth century in Veneto. The use of delicate colors, curved shapes and decorative presence of cherubim, like an architectural element, frames in the Rococo style this work; although the chiaroscuro, present, does not generate too intense contrasts and the background brings more brightness, Although filtered through a presumed cloudy cover. The light tones continue in the delicate reflections of the hair and clothes of Christ, as well as on his face with diaphanous skin, similar to that of the two cherubim. The features of Christ seem quite original, almost derived from a portrait, as the chubby and hairless face makes them somewhat childish; to contrast these details contribute long hair and gaze fixed on the viewer, serious and solemn. The period and geographical background lead this work to the examples of artists close to Giovan Battista Piazzetta (1683-1754), a Venetian painter active in the first half of the eighteenth century and a pupil of Antonio Molinari (1655-1704), also Venetian and related to this pictorial style. From the Baroque to the Rococo, the artistic language was sweetened while maintaining the tonal vivacity that we also find in this work, whose subject lends a deeper reflection on the figure of Jesus savior of the world, represented by the crucifix globe, and lord of the cosmos. An iconography so ancient and grandiose is therefore rendered with the right expressive gravity, leaving room for a greater serenity and relaxation by Christ, to which must be added the cherubim on the right, Useful both for decorative reasons and to soften the intense gaze of the Savior.
