Saint Teresa of Avila in Glory
1760 - 1770. Oil on canvas. Not on displayThis is a preparatory sketch for a mural of Saint Teresa on clouds, accompanied by other Carmelite nuns. The saint is received by the Virgin, who points to the Holy Trinity. The composition reflects the influence of the Baroque style of Luca Giordano (1634-1705), modified by the aesthetic of Corrado Giaquinto (1703-1766).
