Saint Carlo Borromeo in full compassion: the narrative painting of Jean‑Simon Berthélemy
The composition of "Saint Carlo Borromeo caring for the victims of the plague" immediately captivates with its dramatic intensity and sense of detail. Berthélemy organizes the scene around the charismatic saint, illuminated by a light source that highlights the fabrics, pale faces, and compassionate gestures. Earthy and ochre tones blend with lighter accents to enhance depth and emotion, while the precise touch reveals an academic mastery of the human figure. This art print faithfully restores the visual tension and solemn atmosphere of the original, inviting the gaze to contemplate both the action and the mercy represented.
Jean‑Simon Berthélemy, 18th-century academic painter
Jean‑Simon Berthélemy belongs to the French academic tradition of the 18th century, influenced by neoclassicism and the rigor of the workshop. Trained in the canons of drawing and composition, he produced historical and religious subjects where the narrative prevails and the dramaturgy is refined. His work shows respect for the clarity of lines and the expression of feelings, reconnecting painting to an accessible and moral figurative language. By placing this painting in its context, one understands the importance of the religious scene as a tool for edification and exemplarity at a time when art told stories as much as it decorated.
