Description:
|
Subleyras arrived at the Académie de France in Rome in the autumn of 1728; he stayed in Italy the rest of his life, thus sealing his fate as a French painter destined to be famous in Italy and practically unknown in France. St. Camillio de Lellis Saving the Sick of the Hospital of the Holy Spirit from the Floodwaters of the Tiber (Rome, Pal. Braschi) pays homage to the devotion of the Camillians. This exceptional canvas highlights the pictorial skill of Subleyras; it is a rigorously constructed but natural composition, in which the careful representation of reality is enhanced by the beauty of the forms and the colors.
