This etching by Luca Ciamberlano depicts a scene from the life of the Saint Filippo Neri, showing him levitating during prayer. This image is part of a larger collection of etchings of the life of this famous Italian priest. The scene is set in a room with many figures, including a dying man in a bed. The detail of the figures is clear, and the artist uses strong contrasts of light and shadow to highlight the moment of levitation. This particular scene is one of the many moments that inspired the devoted followers of Filippo Neri. The artwork is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
