A Baroque gem with a masterpiece by Guido Reni
Perched on the tufa cliff facing the majestic Palazzo Farnese, the convent and church of Santa Teresa represent another jewel of Caprarola's artistic and religious heritage.
The interior of the church, sober yet rich in meaning, houses a series of paintings of great historical and artistic significance. Among these, the altarpiece by Guido Reni stands out without doubt.
Reni's painting, created around 1623, is characterised by an intense luminosity and a balanced composition. The figures are rendered with great mastery, and the faces express a deep spirituality.
Beyond Reni's masterpiece, the church of Santa Teresa holds other works of great interest, including:
An imposing canvas by Giovanni Lanfranco, created between 1627 and 1630.
Another canvas by Alessandro Turchi, known as l'Orbetto, depicting the saint preaching to the fish.
