Légende
Study for The Blessed Alessandro Sauli, 1663-1668. A famous preacher from an aristocratic family in Genoa, Sauli (1534-1591) spearheaded important Catholic reforms, including popular missions and restructuring the church to reach a broader spectrum of worshippers. This sculpture is a model for a large statue commissioned by the Sauli family for a Genoese church. Although the open book speaks to Sauli?s work as a reformer, his twisting body and facial expression indicate utter absorption in a deeply personal vision.
