Mattia Pretti, The Blessing Peter (Wignacourt Museum, Rabat, Malta)

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "Two of the works by Mattia Preti, forming part of the [Francesco] Catania collection, date to the artist’s late years, where Preti has moved from the blonde light and ‘Baroque Macchina’ so evident in his earlier works, and his works depict more introverted characters, with painted ground still left visible. This change is evident in the two paintings representing St. Peter, which show a quieter demeanor with the undeniable brilliance of the artist’s hand." [1]
Italiano: "L’iconografia di questo San Pietro è poco comune e insolitamente interessante. Per porre in risalto la sua qualità di primo pontefice, e fondatore della Chiesa Romana, l’Apostolo è rappresentato, in modo anacronistico, con indosso i paramenti da pontefice e in mano il pastorale tripartito, attributo specifico del papa, in atto di impartire una benedizione a chi guarda. Le chiavi del cielo, affidategli da Cristo, sono esposte su un ripiano. La lunga iscrizione conferma che egli è il pastore del gregge dei fedeli. L’iconografia da pontefice e l’iscrizione basata sulle Sacre Scritture suggeriscono che questo erudito San Pietro fu eseguito per un membro d’alto rango del clero, oppure per un’istituzione ecclesiastica."
