Jacopo Vignali (17th century) – The Pentecost – Il Filo

BORGO SAN LORENZO (pieve di San Lorenzo) – Beautiful painting, once again the work of Jacopo Vignali, who signed it and dated 1648, really interesting for the complexity of the composition. The expressive power of the figures and the lively colours accentuate the dynamism of the scene and the sense of agitation pervading the characters, invested by the flames of the Holy Spirit. Even in this case, the intense pathos of the figures and the clarity of the iconography refer to the Counter-Reform which required figurative arts to serve the spread of the faith and the subsequent education of the faithful.
