Description: | A man is presenting a votive offering to St Ferma, Protector of Navigators. She is also the patron saint of Citivecchia in Italy. Alternatively, the harbour may be in Malta rather than Italy as the man is wearing a uniform that has two Maltese crosses on it. One of the ships in the harbour has a coat of arms with a black eagle on its flag which resembles the Hapsburg emblem. The inscription on the bottom centre shows that this was made after the donor survived the battle. The half moon crescents represent the Turks. The painting is by an Italian artist. | Subjects: | figure; military and war; marine; religion; still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8330... | Go to resource |
