Painting Description
"Ritratto Di Un Evangelista" (Portrait of an Evangelist) is a painting attributed to the French Rococo artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806). While Fragonard is best known for his sumptuous and playful scenes of romance and leisure, this work represents a departure into the realm of religious portraiture. The painting is believed to depict one of the four Evangelists—Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John—authors of the canonical Gospels in the New Testament, although the specific identity of the figure in the portrait is not universally agreed upon by art historians.
The artwork is executed in oil on canvas, a medium in which Fragonard excelled, showcasing his deft brushwork and mastery of light and shadow. The Evangelist is typically portrayed in a moment of divine inspiration or contemplation, often accompanied by iconographic attributes that help in identifying him, such as a winged man, lion, ox, or eagle, representing Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, respectively. In "Ritratto Di Un Evangelista," the subject may be shown with a book or scroll, alluding to the sacred texts they are credited with authoring.
The provenance of "Ritratto Di Un Evangelista" is not well-documented, and the painting's history prior to its emergence in art historical discourse is murky. The attribution to Fragonard has been a subject of debate, with some scholars questioning the painting's authenticity and others accepting it as a work from his less-documented forays into religious art. The painting's style, composition, and technique have been analyzed in an attempt to situate it within Fragonard's oeuvre and the broader context of 18th-century French painting.
As of the knowledge cutoff date, "Ritratto Di Un Evangelista" is not among Fragonard's most famous works, and detailed information about the painting's current location, ownership, and exhibition history may be limited. Further research and scholarship may shed light on this enigmatic work and its place within the artist's body of work.
