From the collection of J. Paul Getty Museum
The Shade of Samuel Invoked by Saul is a 1650 unspecified by Bernardo Cavallino, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
In this painting, a man in a red robe and gold headband kneels, pointing at another man who is wrapped in a white cloth and dark robe. The kneeling man is surrounded by a group of people, some holding weapons. The scene is set against a beige background. The man in the white cloth appears to be a spirit or ghost, as indicated by his transparent and ethereal appearance. The group of people surrounding the kneeling man seem to be in a state of shock or awe, suggesting that they are witnessing something extraordinary. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Bernardo Cavallino, an Italian Baroque painter known for his dramatic and emotionally charged scenes.
Bernardo Cavallino (25 August 1616 – 1656) was an Italian painter and draughtsman.
