Painting Description
"The Ecstasy of St. Therese" (1745-50) is an oil painting by the Italian Rococo artist Giuseppe Bazzani, depicting a mystical moment experienced by Saint Teresa of Ávila, a prominent Spanish mystic, religious reformer, author, and theologian of the Roman Catholic Church. The artwork captures the intense spiritual vision described by St. Therese in her autobiography, where she recounts an angel piercing her heart with a golden spear, causing her both immense joy and pain.
Bazzani's interpretation of this divine encounter is characterized by the dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of the Baroque style that continued to influence Rococo artists. The painting showcases his skill in rendering the textures of fabrics and the human form, as well as his ability to convey the emotional intensity and rapture of the saint's experience. The composition is dynamic, with swirling draperies and an angelic figure that seems to float, enhancing the sense of otherworldly ecstasy.
Created in the mid-18th century, this work reflects the ongoing interest in religious and mystical subjects among Italian artists, even as the Rococo period often favored more secular and lighthearted themes. "The Ecstasy of St. Therese" stands as a testament to Bazzani's religious works and contributes to the understanding of the period's artistic expressions of spirituality.
Giuseppe Bazzani (1690-1769) was a painter active in Mantua, known for his religious compositions, portraits, and historical scenes. His work bridges the late Baroque and Rococo periods, and he is recognized for his contribution to the Italian art of the 18th century. "The Ecstasy of St. Therese" remains one of his notable works, capturing the viewer with its emotional depth and technical mastery.
