Roberto Ferri devoted himself to Caravaggesque and academic painting - including Ingres, David, Gericault - but also by Surrealist painters.
Ferri's way of painting is elevated by a technique which is almost virtuosity, where the traditional tools of the surrealism are inserted onto the traditional iconographic elements.
His career took on greater notoriety for having been in charge of portraying Pope Francis.
There were two works commissioned from the Italian artist, which occupy privileged places in the Vatican.
