Antoine de Favray, Saint Cathaldus (Wignacourt Museum)

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Antoine de Favray, Saint Cathaldus (Wignacourt Museum) "The painting of St Cataldus was originally produced for the little baroque church dedicated to this saint which is found a mere 50 metres away from the grotto of St Paul. This painting was signed and dated 1760 by the artist. This work is a very fine work by the artist as the exquisitely gold-embroidered vestments and white vestment seems to almost project out of the canvas. This is the result of placing the saint against a rather dark background, thus producing a sharp contrast between the almost impenetrable darkness in the background and the illuminated saint in the foreground."
