Vestire gli ignudi

ca. 1661
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 621
Originario di Bruxelles, Sweerts lavorò a Roma nel 1646 e poi ancora nel 1653-54. Dopo diversi anni dal suo rientro a Bruxelles, si recò ad Amsterdam, dove si ha notizia della sua presenza nel 1661. Probabilmente dipinse questo quadro dallo stile fortemente personale in Olanda, dove i suoi atti religiosi di mortificazione e carità attirarono una certa attenzione. Nel 1662 si recò in Persia insieme a missionari francesi e poi da solo andò a Goa, in India, dove morì nel 1664. L’austerità della vita di Sweerts non diminuì mai la straordinaria raffinatezza del colore, della luce e delle espressioni che caratterizzano le sue opere.
