Artist
Vitus Heinrich
Vitus Heinrich is an Early Baroque Italian artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Museum in Warsaw.
Vitus Heinrich painted religious scenes on small copper plates in the 1600s. One of these miniatures shows the Miracle of the Multiplication of Bread, where loaves and fishes multiply to feed a crowd. Copper supports sharp lines and glowing colors, a trick artists of the time used to make scenes feel alive. Look for the fine details in the faces and folds of cloth. Next, tap to see how copper changed the way light plays across the picture.
