Maarten de Vos. De Heilige Paulus te Ephese Detail is a 1568 unspecified by Maerten de Vos, a Mannerism work, held at Catholic University of Leuven.
You see a man in a pale robe kneeling on sandy ground. He’s holding a book and looking up, as if talking to someone above. The background is dark, but light falls on his face and hands. This is Saint Paul in Ephesus, painted in 1568 by Maarten de Vos. The style is Mannerism, which means figures look a little stretched and dramatic. The light on the saint’s face makes him stand out from the shadows. Look up how Mannerism differs from earlier Renaissance art.
Maerten de Vos, Maerten de Vos the Elder or Marten de Vos (1532 – 4 December 1603) was a Flemish painter, known mainly for his history and allegorical paintings and portraits.
