Priester Alexander Sauli deelt brood uit op Corsica 1700 - 1760

This etching by Giovanni Antonio Faldoni, created between 1700 and 1760, depicts a scene of charity, titled "Priester Alexander Sauli deelt brood uit op Corsica." The print shows Alexander Sauli, a bishop, distributing bread to the poor in Corsica. The scene is set in an outdoor courtyard, with the bishop and a group of people gathered around a basket of bread. The composition is typical of Baroque etchings, featuring strong contrasts of light and shadow, dramatic figures, and a sense of movement and energy. The detail in the artwork and the expressive figures contribute to the overall feeling of compassion and generosity portrayed in the piece.
