SAINT FRANCIS
Halo Collection | Robert Peterson

Bring home a striking work by Robert Peterson, whose portraiture celebrates the beauty, dignity and complexity of contemporary Black life.

In Saint Francis, a luminous purple halo surrounds the subject against a deep violet background. A contemporary gray hoodie contrasts with the ornate gold frame, bringing everyday style into the visual language of traditional portraiture. The subject's direct gaze gives the work a powerful presence, inviting viewers to consider who is celebrated, honored and remembered through art.

This piece reflects Peterson's broader commitment to placing Black faces at the center of fine art-portraying his subjects with humanity, confidence and the reverence historically reserved for royalty.

A self-taught artist based in Lawton, Oklahoma, Peterson has work in major museum collections, including the Brooklyn Museum and Philbrook Museum of Art. Saint Francis offers an opportunity to make his distinctive portraiture part of your own collection while supporting Spurs Give.
