Painting Description
"The Vision of Saint Simon Stock" is a notable artwork by Italian Baroque painter Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, widely known as Guercino. Painted in 1641, the artwork is a distinguished specimen of Guercino's mature style, characterized by the vibrant emotionality and exuberant coloring that defines the Baroque period.
The painting vividly depicts the moment in which the Virgin Mary appears to Saint Simon Stock, a 13th-century English Carmelite, presenting him with the Brown Scapular, a religious garment that became a key symbol of the Carmelite Order. Saint Simon Stock is typically indicated holding a scapular and in Guercino's representation, he is painted with an expression of awe and humility as he kneels before the apparition of Virgin Mary emanating a divine light.
Independently commissioned or not, Guercino's representations of such religious occurrences played a significant role in his career. "The Vision of Saint Simon Stock" is particularly noteworthy for its dramatic illumination, vivid naturalism, and the emotionally charged interaction between the divine and the mortal, elegantly illustrating Guercino's skill at translating spiritual narratives into grandiose visual spectacles.
The painting is currently housed in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, continuing to be an exemplary work for students and admirers of Baroque art and Guercino's pictorial vocabulary.
