This 1746 print by Francesco Bartolozzi depicts Saint Peter of Alcantara, a Spanish Franciscan friar who is known for his mystical experiences. The print shows the saint surrounded by cherubs in a heavenly setting, highlighting his religious devotion. This work, typical of Bartolozzi's style, employs delicate lines and intricate details, capturing the spirituality and ethereal nature of the subject. The print is a valuable example of the artist's mastery of engraving, which was a popular medium in 18th-century Europe. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City holds this engraving as part of their vast collection.
