A Miracle of St. Peter of Alcántara

Ghezzi employed a range of colors to achieve depth and atmosphere, characteristic of Rococo. The composition utilizes chiaroscuro, creating dramatic lighting that focuses attention on the central miraculous act.

Created in 1714, the painting reflects Ghezzi's versatility as a painter known for both decorative frescoes and historical scenes, as well as his sideline as a pioneering caricaturist.

As a Rococo work, it aligns with the period's emphasis on emotive and intimate scenes, often set in idyllic landscapes. The traditional clothing of the figures grounds the miraculous event in a recognizable, earthly context.
