EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable oil painting by Bernardino Luini, depicting a bust-length figure of a saint. The saint is portrayed with utmost reverence, holding a palm branch in one hand and engrossed in reading the scriptures. Painted on panel with incredible precision and attention to detail, this Renaissance masterpiece measures 40x30 cm. What makes this artwork even more intriguing is its fascinating history. On the reverse side, you can find the red mark of the stamp from the collection of Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Berry. Additionally, an old handwritten inscription attributes this piece to none other than Leonardo da Vinci himself. The composition exudes religious symbolism and devotion as it captures the essence of martyrdom and Christian faith. The saint's serene expression reflects deep contemplation while her hands delicately hold both scripture and palm branch—a symbol often associated with martyrdom. Luini's skillful brushwork brings life to every element in this painting—the intricate details of the book pages, folds in fabric, and subtle play of light and shadow all contribute to its timeless beauty. As you gaze upon this exquisite work of art captured through eChristies Images' lens, allow yourself to be transported back to an era where religious themes dominated artistic expression during the Renaissance period.
