Stefano Trapanese - SAN TADDEO apostolo (St. Thaddeus apostle)

Stefano Trapanese is an ARTIST LEADER in the province of Salerno (Italy) and is consistently among the TOP10 OF NATIONAL PROFILE MASTERS in Italy (source PitturiAmo.com). A student of Italian art history and, in particular, of Neapolitan painting of the 17th century, Master Stefano Trapanese draws inspiration from the great Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi) and from the painters of the Italian Baroque. His paintings are all original oil on canvas. He selects the models, dresses them, and poses them for a portrait. The painting is part of 12 works, all original and bearing the holy apostles of Jesus Christ. They are offered for sale individually or in blocks only on specific request. "Taddeo, servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James." This brief presentation of the author of one of the so-called “Catholic Letters” of the New Testament has led to the plausible belief that he is identified with the apostle Judas, called “Taddeo,” with evident reference to the greatness of his heart. That heart on which rests the medallion bearing the image of Jesus, which the Apostle raises in order to draw the faithful’s attention to it, urging them to abandon themselves to Christ’s mercy. A persuasive purpose enhanced by the direct gaze of the Saint, which serves to confirm the intention of a confidential communication with the believer.
