From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
St. Philip Neri is a 1826 by Johann Friedrich Overbeck, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man, St. Philip Neri, in a quiet moment. He's dressed in simple clothes and has a gentle face. The interesting thing about this work is that it was made during a time when many artists were focusing on dramatic scenes, but this one is calm and peaceful, which was a choice made by the artist to convey a sense of serenity. You can learn more about this style by looking into the work of artist: Johann Friedrich Overbeck (German, 1789–1869)
Johann Friedrich Overbeck (3 July 1789 – 12 November 1869) was a German painter and a founder of the Nazarene art movement.
