Vision of Saint Philip Neri is a 1700 oil by Giuseppe Passeri, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting shows a man in a black robe with his arms outstretched, looking up at a group of figures in the clouds. The man is surrounded by putti, or cherubs, who are also looking up. The figures in the clouds include a woman in blue and a man with a beard, who may be saints. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail and texture. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and volume. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this painting, you might want to look up Giuseppe Passeri.
