Mystic, writer and reformer · Teresa of Avila
Rubens, Guercino, Alonso Cano and Piazzetta represent Teresa of Avila between Carmelite portrait, inspiring dove, appearance of Christ and ecstasy.
This collection is dedicated to Teresa of Avila, or Teresa of Jesus, born in 1515 and great reformer of Spanish Carmel. Founder of communities of discalced Carmelites, writer and mistress of interior prayer, she provides baroque painting with a very rich iconography. The brown and white habit recalls Carmel; the book and the pen refer to his writings, notably the Book of Life and The Interior Castle. The dove of the Holy Spirit often appears near his ear or above it to signify inspiration. The dove of the Holy Spirit often appears near his ear or above it to signify inspiration. The visions of Christ, the Cross and the angels reflect a mystical experience that artists render through light, body movement and high gaze. Rubens develops the vision of the dove and intercession with monumental energy. Guercino brings Thérèse closer to Christ in a sensitive dialogue. Alonso Cano associates the nun with the Crucified, while Piazzetta transforms ecstasy into a rise of light. Canonized in 1622, Thérèse became a doctor of the Church in 1970. The "Saint Thérèse" selection notably compares The Vision of Saint Thérèse of Avila - Rubens and Christ Appearing to Saint Thérèse - Guercino. Its reading favors composition.
In Thérèse, the book and ecstasy are not opposed: writing gives form to the inner experience and transmits it.
