Saint of the Order of Jerusalem in prayer, Italian, 18th century

Saint of the Order of Jerusalem in prayer, Italian, 18th century Oil on canvas. Dimensions 144 x 90 / 130 x 107 cm. A devotional image of a Carthusian monk bent in deep contemplation before a table covered with a red cloth, upon which rest a crucifix, books, a skull, and scourges—symbols of meditation on death and penance. The white habit, rendered with ample, luminous folds, contrasts with the dark background and draws attention to the monk’s absorbed expression and the silent contemplation
