Santos (San Juan) 1939

"Santos (San Juan)" is a 1939 watercolor painting by Carl O'Bergh depicting a saint on a wood panel. O'Bergh, a prominent American artist, was born in 1911 and died in 1978. The artwork showcases the artist's keen observation of religious iconography, using a simplistic style to portray a traditional religious figure. The fragmented edges of the wood panel add to the artwork's charm and create a sense of historical depth. The work's vibrant colors and composition are notable elements that add to the work's visual appeal. The piece is a testament to O'Bergh's unique artistic vision and serves as a valuable example of the artist's dedication to capturing the essence of religious traditions through his art.
