The Glorification of Saint John Nepomuk is a modello for an altarpiece created by the renowned Austrian painter Franz Anton Maulbertsch. This work exemplifies Maulbertsch's mastery in the Rococo style, characterized by its dynamic composition, vibrant color palette, and intricate detailing. Born in 1724, Maulbertsch was a pivotal figure in the late Baroque and Rococo periods, and his works are celebrated for their dramatic expressiveness and innovative use of light and shadow.

The modello, a preparatory study for a larger altarpiece, showcases Maulbertsch's ability to convey complex theological themes through vivid and emotive imagery. Saint John Nepomuk, a 14th-century Bohemian priest and martyr, is depicted in a moment of divine glorification. According to legend, Saint John Nepomuk was martyred by being thrown into the Vltava River in Prague for refusing to divulge the confessional secrets of Queen Johanna of Bohemia. He is often invoked as a protector against slander and a patron saint of bridges and waterways.

In this modello, Maulbertsch captures the saint's ascension to heaven, surrounded by a host of angels and celestial light. The composition is marked by a swirling dynamism, with figures arranged in a spiraling ascent that draws the viewer's eye upward, symbolizing the saint's spiritual elevation. The use of light is particularly striking, with a radiant glow emanating from the central figure of Saint John Nepomuk, highlighting his sanctity and divine favor.

Maulbertsch's technique in this work demonstrates his skillful brushwork and his ability to create a sense of movement and depth. The modello not only served as a preliminary study for the final altarpiece but also stands as a testament to Maulbertsch's artistic vision and his contribution to the religious art of his time. Through this work, Maulbertsch continues to be celebrated for his ability to blend theological narrative with artistic innovation, making The Glorification of Saint John Nepomuk a significant piece in the study of Rococo religious art.
