Saint Bruno

Iconographically related to the St. Bruno in the cloister of the Certosa, this is a work of impressive stylistic rigour; the spirit that informs the rough realism of a Ribera or the sombre drama of a certain Zurbarán is the same that guides the modelling of this exceptional work. It was probably cast in silver by Giovan Domenico Vinacci after a design or model by Fanzago.
