Description
Saint Teresa of Ávila appears beside Christ in Peter Paul Rubens’s dramatic scene of intercession for souls in purgatory. Her upward gaze and open hands answer Christ’s outstretched gesture, while angels and rising figures connect the earthly and heavenly spaces.
Rubens gives Saint Teresa of Ávila a commanding presence through sweeping movement and warm light. Christ’s red drapery provides a brilliant focal point amid softer clouds, pale robes and the glow of the lower scene.
