De heilige Romualdus 1712 - 1786

"De heilige Romualdus" is an engraving by Giovanni Marco Pitteri, created between 1712 and 1786. The artwork depicts Saint Romuald, a Benedictine monk, in a moment of prayer, his eyes raised to heaven. The detail of his clasped hands and the inscription below, "S. ROMUALDI ABBATIS EFFIGIES," emphasize his piety and monastic life. The engraving's stark contrasts of light and shadow, characteristic of the Baroque period, contribute to its dramatic effect and the strong sense of spirituality.
