Peccati Mortisque Triumphor Christus

Marco Alvise Pitteri after Giovanni Battista Piazzetta

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man shown from the waist up. He is positioned with his head tilted slightly upward, looking towards the sky or ceiling, with his facial features prominently displayed. He has an elongated face with a pronounced nose, a full beard, and long hair that touches his shoulders. His expression is serene and contemplative. The man is dressed in a robe with a visible loose, ruffled collar and holds a long, staff-like object in his left hand. Surrounding the upper portion of the image is a textured background that creates an air of depth. Below the man, there is a Latin inscription, framed within a decorative border. The print is rendered in black and white.
