Καλλιτέχνης: Francisco Zurbaran
Στυλ: Baroque
Τεχνική: Oil
A 1628 oil on canvas painting. Saint Serapion is depicted by Zurbaran in a quasi-crucified pose, standing with each hand bound by ropes and chain to an overhead horizontal pole. The painting stops at the figure's knee level, while the strain placed on his arms is indicated by the heavy hanging folds of the drapes of the cloth hanging from left shoulder and right outstretched arm. The saint is identified by text on a small note placed to the left of his chest area. The work makes strong use of chiaroscuro in the Spanish Tenebrist tradition of Jusepe de Ribera. The dominance of the white paint used to render the cloth creates a sense of tranquility, while the tension of the painting is derived from the dark shade created from the deep folds of the robes.
