Otilia Bavara (Saint Otilia of Bavaria) is a 1580 by Adriaen Collaert, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
In this painting, a man in a long robe stands on a hill, holding a staff and a cup. He is surrounded by trees and looks down at a woman kneeling on the ground. In the background, there is a village with buildings and a church steeple. The man's robe is intricately detailed, and the trees around him have thick trunks and branches. The woman in the background is wearing a simple dress and has her hands clasped together in prayer. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of the man. Next, look up Adriaen Collaert.
