This dramatically theatrical painting idealizes the death of Ludovica, with the pain, suffering and yet heavenly happiness present in her pose and expression, is inspired by a sculpture of Gianlorenzo Bernini, commissioned by Cardinal Albertoni and currently situated above the Altieri Chapel alter where she is buried.

Ludovica died in 1533 and was beatified in 1671.

Canvas size = 100cm wide x 40cm high

There's many more figurative, dance and portrait fine art original oil paintings, pastels and signed gicleé prints on my website: R Young Art

Thx. I'm a deep sculpture fan and I find this sort of stuff incredibly erotic. I've another one planned for a rainy day when I've time, again inspired by Bernini, but they take sooooooooo long to do and don't sell well for some reason. meanwhile, this one has pride of place in my personal gallery, so I'm happy.
