St. Bruno Appearing to Comte Roger 1648

"St. Bruno Appearing to Comte Roger," painted in 1648 by French artist Eustache Le Sueur, depicts the titular event from the life of Saint Bruno. The work shows the founder of the Carthusian order appearing to a count in his sickbed and is characterized by its dramatic composition and use of light, typical of the Baroque style. Le Sueur's work is recognized for its refined and restrained aesthetic, a departure from the more exuberant Baroque art of the time. This painting, now housed in the Louvre Museum, provides a compelling visual account of this significant historical and religious event.
