Exceptional Venetian Baroque oil on canvas from the Circle of Pietro Liberi, late 17th century. This devotional masterpiece depicts the Ecstasy of Saint Paschal Baylon, shown in spiritual rapture as an angel in red drapery presents him with the Eucharistic chalice.
Painted with characteristic Venetian richness — luminous colors, dramatic chiaroscuro, and fluid brushwork — reflecting the influence of Pietro Liberi (1605–1687).
A powerful and elegant piece of Italian Old Master religious art. Ideal for collectors of Baroque and devotional paintings.
