After training in Rome in the 1630s and 1640s, Preti went to Naples where he continued working in a mode inspired by the work of Caravaggio. In this painting, dramatic lighting and intense naturalism depict the intersection of the heavenly and earthly realms. According to Catholic tradition, Saint Paul the Hermit fled into the desert to escape persecution from the Romans in the third century, and is revered as the first of many hermit saints. A raven brought Saint Paul a half a loaf of bread daily, which enabled him to survive to the age of 113 years. Preti depicted the saint looking heavenward in appreciation and awe of his heavenly provider. The hermit saint is clothed only in a rough woven cloth, intended to increase the saint's suffering and thus draw him closer spiritually to Christ.

Available material options
For every art print we offer a range of different materials & sizes. Therefore, we allow you to choose among the following options:
- Acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): An acrylic glass print, often described as a print on plexiglass, will turn the original artwork into beautiful wall décor and forms a distinct alternative to aluminium or canvas art prints. The artwork is being made thanks to the help of modern UV print technology.
- The poster print (canvas material): The Artprinta poster print is a printed flat cotton canvas with a fine surface finish, that resembles the actual masterpiece. A poster is best suited for placing the art replica with the help of a customized frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the poster we add a white margin of approximately 2-6cm around the painting, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.
- The canvas print: The canvas direct print is a printed cotton canvas stretched on a wooden frame. A canvas creates the sculptural look of three-dimensionality. Additionally, a printed canvas makes a lovely and appealing atmosphere. Your canvas of this work of art will give you the unique opportunity of turning your into a large size work of art as you would see in a gallery. The great advantage of canvas prints is that they are relatively low in weight, which implies that it is easy to hang up the Canvas print without any wall-mounts. That is why, a canvas print is suitable for any kind of wall.
- Aluminium dibond: These are metal prints on aluminium dibond material with an outstanding depth effect. A direct Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the excellent start to fine art prints made on aluminum. For our Direct Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the selected work of art onto the surface of the aluminum. The white & bright parts of the work of art shimmer with a silk gloss but without the glare.
