Description

The Salvator Mundi theme, constant in Western iconography in the 15th and 16th centuries, is interpreted here with an allusion to the Byzantine derivation that El Greco helps to bring to the West. The figure of Christ probably comes from the Apostolado preserved in Oviedo, a series of paintings that originally included the twelve Apostles and the Redeemer, missing from the Oviedo series. The Christ the Savior who with his right hand raised blesses, according to the Latin gesture, and holds the left resting on the globe, refers to the tradition of the Byzantine icons, thanks to the frontal arrangement, the deep gaze and the rhomboid shape of the luminous halo that surrounds the head.
