Description

LOUIS DE BOULLOGNE (Paris, 1654–1733)

The baptism of St. Augustine

Oil on canvas, 81 x 64.5 cm. Framed
Lower left signature: “J. BOULLOGNE”.

The baptism of Augustine takes place inside a religious building: he kneels in front of the bishop Ambrose, who is pouring water on his head, while a group of clerics is actively taking part in the ceremony.
The setting of classical derivation and the elegance of the composition are typical of the production of Louis de Boullogne, French painter operating between XVII and XVIII centuries, whose style shows analogies with Federico Barocci and Nicolas Poussin.
The canvas, signed at the lower left corner, depicts the painting with the same theme by the same painter, currently displayed in Bordeaux at the Musée des Beaux-Arts.
