Portrait of a Benedictine monk - Fray Juan Andrés Rizi de Guevara
The silent solemnity of the Portrait of a Benedictine Monk, revealed by Fray Juan Andrés Rizi de Guevara
The composition features a bust of a monk, lit by side light that sculpts the features and reveals the texture of the fabrics. The dark and rich tones — deep browns, warm ochres, and accents of off-white — create a contemplative and almost theatrical atmosphere. The mastery of the brush is seen in the rendering of the hands and face, where the subtle modeling translates the subject's inner gravity. This art print faithfully restores the silent presence of the original, inviting the gaze to linger on the details and feel the monastic quietude.
Fray Juan Andrés Rizi de Guevara, master of religious Baroque
Fray Juan Andrés Rizi de Guevara belongs to the Spanish tradition of the 17th century, heir to a pictorial language marked by realism and religious solemnity. Influenced by the great figures of the Golden Age, he favors chromatic sobriety and the narrative power of the pictorial gesture. His works, often devoted to ecclesiastical subjects, show sustained attention to the rendering of materials and the psychological expression of the models.
