Filippo Neri breekt twee ribben tijdens het bidden 1630 - 1641

"Filippo Neri breekt twee ribben tijdens het bidden" is an etching by Luca Ciamberlano, depicting a scene from the life of Saint Filippo Neri, founder of the Oratorians. The artwork, created between 1630 and 1641, shows Neri kneeling in prayer, with two of his ribs broken by the intensity of his devotion. The scene takes place in a room, with figures looking on from the doorway. The artist uses strong lines and contrasts to create a dramatic and devotional effect, typical of Baroque art. This etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, reflects the veneration of Filippo Neri in Catholic communities and provides a glimpse into the religious fervor of the 17th century.
