Hermits (Anachorets) is a 1713 oil by Alessandro Magnasco, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a group of hermits in a forest, dressed in white robes. They're sitting or lying down, some looking up at the sky. The scene is set in a dense forest with tall trees and a cloudy sky. In the background, there's a figure of a woman floating in the air, which might symbolize something spiritual or divine. The overall mood of the painting seems peaceful and contemplative. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this work, you might want to look up Alessandro Magnasco.
