La Sainte Famille avec sainte Anne et sainte Catherine d'Alexandrie

1648
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 624
Espagnol de naissance, d’où son surnom de Lo Spagnoletto, Ribera passa la majeure partie de sa vie adulte à Naples, alors gouvernée par un vice-roi d’Espagne. À Rome, auparavant, il avait adopté la pratique caravagesque de la peinture d’après modèle. C’est ainsi qu’il transforma des gens ordinaires en saints, prophètes et philosophes classiques très convaincants. L’impact de ses tableaux tient au recours aux compositions formelles, fruit d’une étude attentive de Raphaël. Cette œuvre tardive et des plus accomplies rend parfaitement compte du talent de Ribera. Il faut noter particulièrement les magnifiques éléments de nature morte, le rendu exceptionnel des tissus et l’expression si tendre des sujets.
