About This Design

The Repentant Saint Peter by El Greco Poster

The Repentant Saint Peter by El Greco Poster

The Repentant Saint Peter by El Greco, c. 1605, is an oil on canvas painting of the Apostle Peter with hands clasped in prayer, looking heavenwards. Around his waist, beneath the bearded saint’s gray-white and ocher robes, hang the keys of heaven. The loose, expressive brushstrokes, flattened forms and heightened contrasts form a remarkable work of religious art that foreshadows the darkened, tenebrist backgrounds of the Baroque era as well as modern expressionism and Cubism. Domenikos Theotokópoulos (1541 - 1614) was born on the island of Crete where he apprenticed as a painter of religious icons in the Byzantine tradition. As a young man he studied in Venice under Titian and the painters of the Venetian Renaissance and became known by the moniker El Greco, "The Greek". El Greco permanently settled in Toledo, Spain, where he produced most of his famous paintings and worked also as a sculptor and architect. El Greco's unique manner defies classification, incorporating elements of the Italian and Spanish Renaissance, Byzantine art, Mannerism, and Expressionism. El Greco remained somewhat obscure until the 19th and 20th centuries, when his paintings profoundly influenced the rising modern artists.

I hung this in the stairwell of our house, near some other Renoir pictures. My daughter says it looks like she is looking at her when she walks up the stairs. it's called "The Excursionist", she is holding a walking stick. Renoir was an impressionist, I don't think this is an actual person. The finished framed picture arrived and looks better than the online pic - Beautiful!

Absolutely superb Art Deco poster. The colours are vibrant, sympathetic to the era and perfect for use. I framed it and hung above the entrance to my Art Deco inspired lounge room. Stunning! The print is precise, clear and of an excellent standard. It was cleverly packaged so there wasn’t a blemish or crease. Perfect!
