Description: | The painting appears to be a sketch for an altarpiece; the rendering is very rough and general, making it likely to be a sketch rather than a copy, and architectural details (such as the niche visible in the lower centre of the composition), show that it is for a 'site specific' work, rather than a stand-alone painting. In the painting one can see a male Saint on the lower left and a female Saint to the right, acting in intercessionary roles. Above them is an ambiguous figure, which may be God or Christ, with various putti occupying the spaces around the major figures. | Subjects: | religion (altarpiece) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8319... | Go to resource |
