Death of St Bruno
by LE SUEUR, Eustache, Oil on canvas, 193 x 130 cm
In 1101, St Bruno died at the Carthusian monastery of Santa Maria dell’Eremo in Calabria (Italy). Like the whole cycle, this scene is treated with clarity, balance, control of proportions and anatomy. The emotion is aroused by the dignity of the monks and by the sobriety of the coloured harmonies.
