Salvator Mundi 1515

"Salvator Mundi" (1515) by Correggio depicts a youthful Christ, the "Savior of the World," in a half-length portrait. Christ is depicted with a gentle expression, holding an open book in his left hand and making the gesture of blessing with his right. His soft, delicate features and light brown hair are characteristic of Correggio's style. The background is a simple drape of green, further emphasizing the focus on Christ's figure. This painting offers a compelling example of Correggio's mastery of light and detail.
