DESCRIPTION: INSPIRED TRANSFIGURATION OF CHRIST
The painting is an inspired rappresentation of transfiguration of Christ that is happens on Tabor mount. Jesus, bright in white gown, don? t touch ground and He raises in a luminous almond created by a superb golden colour, thant is a symbol of God, which shows all His omnipotence and He makes immaterial Son?s body. The sudden cloud, as much immaterial, upsets the three apostles; Saint John covers his face, in the middle, Saint Peter backs off in the sight of Jesus, and then, on the left Saint James that prays, completely prostrate. Near Jesus we find the prophet Moses, with the tables of the Law and the Prophet Elias while praying. The setting of the painting is perfectly balanced, with the personalities which form a circle about to Christ. The apostles' positions seem almost quotations from Carracci and Caravaggio, with the materials colours and the rich drapings which form a circumvented ideal, a whirl with the squarciate clouds. A big impact painting represents an Italian production of Roman school.
