Paolo Farinati was an Italian painter of the late Renaissance, active mainly in Verona. He is known for his religious and mythological works, often characterized by their vibrant colors and dynamic compositions. One of his notable works is "St. James the Less," which reflects his skill in capturing religious figures with a sense of realism and devotion.

"St. James the Less" is a depiction of one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, often identified as the son of Alphaeus. Farinati's portrayal of St. James the Less is marked by a serene expression and a contemplative pose, typical of the artist's approach to religious subjects. The painting showcases Farinati's ability to convey the spiritual essence of his subjects, while also highlighting his mastery of light and shadow.

The composition of the painting is balanced and harmonious, with St. James the Less positioned centrally, drawing the viewer's attention to his figure. Farinati's use of color is both rich and subtle, enhancing the overall impact of the work. The background is often kept simple, allowing the focus to remain on the saint, and emphasizing the spiritual nature of the subject.

Farinati's work, including "St. James the Less," is representative of the Mannerist style, which followed the High Renaissance. This style is characterized by elongated forms, exaggerated poses, and a heightened sense of drama. Farinati, however, maintained a certain restraint in his compositions, blending Mannerist elements with a more traditional approach to religious iconography.

While specific details about the painting's commission or current location may not be widely documented, Farinati's contributions to the art world remain significant. His works are appreciated for their technical skill and their ability to convey deep religious sentiment. "St. James the Less" stands as a testament to Farinati's artistic legacy and his role in the development of Renaissance art in Italy.
