Born in 1621 and deceased in Rome in 1691, Giacinto Brandi was an Italian Baroque painter. Trained partly in the circle of Alessandro Algardi, he subsequently worked with Giovanni Lanfranco. His commissions included frescoes and altarpieces for Roman churches. In 1668 he became prince of the Accademia di San Luca. His visual language combines the movement of Baroque composition with careful attention to figures and light.
Christ and St Bernardo Tolomei, held by the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, concentrates on the meditative relationship between its two figures. The pale body of Christ stands out against a dark background and finds an echo in the monk’s white garment. Saint Carlo Borromeo and the Plague Stricken, at the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, also demonstrates the importance of religious subjects in Brandi’s paintings on canvas.
