Oil on canvas. Signed and located on the lower left margin "Roma, Enrico Scifoni." The name of the sitter is cited at the lower left: "Signorina Maria Ciaffi." Scifoni was a Roman artist who was very active as a portraitist between 1870 and 1914. The young woman portrayed is dressed in a dress and hairstyle reminiscent of the fashions of the Empire period. The painting is presented in a 19th-century gilded frame, which requires restoration.

Central Italy 17th Century

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux

The sculpture described here, carved from a block of Swiss pine in the early 17th century, depicts Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. The composition is reminiscent of the early 16th-century engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi, who depicted the Saint in monastic habit, holding a crosier, a Bible in his hand, and a demon in chains at his feet. The sculpture was intended for a niche and therefore unfinished on the back. The standing saint is depicted in slight motion, holding an open Bible in his right hand and the beginning of the chain that binds the demon at his feet in the other. Unfortunately, the central section of the chain is missing, but it is completed with a collar; the demon is subdued by the Saint, who rests his foot on it. Although the colors and gilding have some gaps and soot, we can see that the saint's complexion is rosy, while the demon is reddish, almost brown, due to exposure to the flames of the infernal world. Note the Saint's splendid robe, which, despite depicting a monastic habit, is lacquered in shades of red with gold embroidery on the inside and gold with bluish embroidery on the outside. The robe is no longer the humble hermit's, but that of the saint in celestial glory, bathed in light, in sharper contrast to the figure of the devil.
