Chartreuse, solitude and vision · Saint Bruno in painting
Ribera, Magnasco, Mola, Le Sueur and Carducci show Saint Bruno as a Carthusian founder, contemplative hermit and protagonist of a vast monastic story.
Bruno of Cologne, born around 1030, left a scholarly and ecclesiastical career to seek a more retired life. With his companions, he settled in 1084 in the Chartreuse massif, the origin of the Carthusian order. His iconography favors the white habit, the book, the crucifix, the skull and solitary landscapes. Ribera places him with the Virgin and Child in an intense sacred encounter. Magnasco and Pier Francesco Mola place his meditation in landscapes where rocks, trees and sky give a physical measure to the retreat. Eustache Le Sueur recounts his meditation in landscapes where rocks, trees and sky give a physical measure to the retreat. Eustache Le Sueur recounts his arrival in Grenoble, the stay in Rome and the appearance to Count Roger in his famous Parisian cycle. Carducci elaborates the same traditions for El Paular, with a narrative scope adapted to the cloister. The "Saint Bruno" selection notably compares The Virgin and Child Jesus and Saint Bruno - Jusepe de Ribera and Landscape with Saint Bruno - Alessandro Magnasco. His reading favors space.
In Saint Bruno, the landscape is not a setting: it becomes the very space of silence, rule and contemplation.
